Touba (2013) offers a unique perspective on Islam by following the yearly journey of Sufi Muslims to the Senegalese city of Touba. Through exclusive access and striking 16mm cinematography, this lyrical documentary invites viewers into the Mouride Brotherhood, one of West Africa's most enigmatic groups and one of the globe's largest Sufi communities. Each year, over a million Mourides from around the world converge on the sacred city of Touba for the 'Grand Magaal,' a pilgrimage honoring the life and teachings of Cheikh Amadou Bamba. Bamba's peaceful resistance against French colonial oppression in the late 19th century sparked a national movement and a doctrine of religious freedom through pacifism, which continues to be embraced by millions of his adherents.
