DESTINY is an action adventure spectacular about the 12th
century Spanish-Arabian philosopher Averroles and his fight for free
speech, literacy, and rationalism in Medieval Spain. Featuring raging
battle scenes, philosophical discourses, rousing gypsy songs and dance,
and stunning medieval architecture (the film was shot on location in
Syria and Lebananon) Destiny is a genre bending historical epic with
a contemporary message about the excesses of religious fundamentalism.
