"The Prophet, by celebrated Lebanese author Kahlil Gibran, is among the most popular volumes of poetry ever written, with over 100 million copies in forty languages sold since its first publication in 1923. Gibran’s timeless verses are given enchanting new form in this painterly cinematic adventure about freedom and the power of human expression.
This breathtaking animated feature, produced and spearheaded by Salma Hayek, was an official selection at the Cannes Film Festival and made its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Written and directed by Roger Allers ( The Lion King), the film intersperses Gibran’s elegant poetry within stunning sequences by a host of award-winning animators from around the world. It also features music from Damien Rice, Glen Hansard, and Yo-Yo Ma."
