About this submission
It's about the identity of "Zanzibar", an island on the east coast of Africa. The island was a trading hub in the Indian ocean. For centuries, Persians, Arabs, Africa, Indians migrated to this island and managed to live together and integrated. The island has a surprisingly low crime rate, comparing to other parts of Africa. People of different ethnicities there seem to have created their own micro-universe of peace and sustainability. This film is trying to find out the secrets to cultural co-existence and tolerance.
