The film Terres d’Islam, directed by Robert Pansard-Besson, portrays how the Arab-Islamic civilization developed through the centuries and expanded from the outer reaches of Asia to Europe (Spain and France). He shows how the Arabs perfected their knowledge of art, literature, language, science and culture based on heritages from the Mesopotamians, Greeks, Byzantines, Persians, Indians, and from the ancient Arabs themselves.
