The Los Angeles Times called Muhammad….a candid, thoughtful, flowing, visually stunning film …that is as timely as documentaries get....this important film delivers again and again.”

The film creates a detailed and intimate portrait of Muhammad, the man and the prophet. It takes viewers not only to ancient Middle Eastern sites where Muhammad's story unfolded, but into the homes, mosques and workplaces of some of America's seven million Muslims to discover the many ways in which they follow Muhammad's example. A KQED presentation, Muhammad:Legacy of a Prophet was produced by Kikim Media and Unity Productions Foundation. To visit the PBS web site for Muhammad, CLICK HERE.

Long after its initial broadcast, Muhammad has had an enormous impact thanks to a unique collaboration with the producers of Frontline's Muslims. Together, the programs form the centerpiece of an extraordinary community engagement campaign and educational outreach effort, known as The Islam Project. According to the campaign's organizers, Active Voice, the project has been one of their most successful outreach campaigns ever.

Stereotypes about Muslims are quickly dispelled, and a better understanding of Islam results from Muhammad: Legacy of A Prophet.The enlightening documentary...is a well-researched reminder that Islam is about peace, love and the acceptance of other people's beliefs - the same tenets as those in Christianity and Judaism.

How do you produce an engaging two-hour biography of one of the most influential men in world history without showing his image? The producers of Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet, a PBS documentary about the Arab desert trader whose religious experiences led to the founding of Islam, have smartly overcome this cinematic challenge.
Combining symbolic images from the desert landscape in which Muhammad lived almost 1,400 years ago, contemporary footage of Muslims visiting Islam's holy sites and, most importantly, interviews with American Muslims about what Muhammad means to them, the film offers an absorbing rendition of his life story.

It's about as palatable an introduction to who Muhammad was and what most Muslims believe about him as you are likely to find...For people who complain that TV is a junkyard and that this season has become a mad, soulless dash, this informative, heartfelt documentary may be a blessed opportunity for rest and reflection.

A program that offers easily assimilated knowledge and a sympathetic understanding is a definite service.
The New York Times (Peter Steinfels)

The documentary is well worth watching both as the first serious attempt to tell the story of Muhammed on television and also as a testimony to the hypersensitivity of our times.
