Destiny (Al-massir) - 1997

The story is set in the 12th century in Arab-ruled Spanish province Andalusia, where famed philosopher Averroes is appointed grand judge by the caliph and his liberal court judgments are not liked by everyone. The caliph's political rivals, centered around the leader of a fanatical Islamic sect, force the caliph to send Averroes into exile, but his ideas keep on living thanks to his students.

Um filme egípcio e a estória é situada no século 12 na província espanhola de Andaluzia, na época governada pelos árabes. Onde o famoso filósofo Averróis (um defensor do Aristotelismo) é nomeado juiz supremo pelo califa, mas seus julgamentos na Corte, por serem muito liberais, não agradam a todos. Os rivais políticos do califa, através de um líder de uma seita islâmica fanática, forçam o califa a mandar Averróis para o exílio, mas suas ideias permanecem vivas graças a seus estudantes.

Filme submetido pelo Egito para o Oscar, na categoria de Melhor Filme Estrangeiro.
