This project looks at a different side of things.”

The documentary discusses the history of the Ismailis and the policies of the three previous Aga Khans.</blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://agakhanfilm.blogspot.com/2007/12/and-we-are-live.html" href="http://agakhanfilm.blogspot.com/2007/12/and-we-are-live.html" style="font-size: 11px;">agakhanfilm.blogspot.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://agakhanfilm.blogspot.com/2007/12/and-we-are-live.html"><P class="MsoNormal"><SPAN lang="EN-US">Full website is now up with story details, bios, and much more: </SPAN><SPAN lang="EN-US"><A href="http://www.agakhanfilm.org/"><SPAN>www.agakhanfilm.org</SPAN></A></SPAN></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8693E009-227B-4EFC-B39D-2C92B006A153/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
