Short Description:
LOVE IS A VERB is an examination of a social movement of Sufi
inspired Sunni Muslims that began in Turkey in the l960s and now reaches across the globe. The
group is called Hizmet, the Turkish word for service or The Gulen Movement after its inspiration,
leader and beloved teacher Fethullah Gulen, a man that Time Magazine named as one of the
most influential leaders in the world in 2013.
Through a co-operation with the people inspired by Gulen, we had an unprecedented access to
the ideas and actions of the movement around the world. We met teachers who crawled through
a tunnel to open a school in Sarajevo during the war and the students whose lives they changed.
We met a Sufi conductor whose orchestra is composed of children whose parents were once at
war. We got a glimpse of the interfaith work the movement provides in Turkey, including a visit to
Rumi’s exquisite shrine. We went to their schools in Turkey, in Somalia, in Iraq. We meet a
Kurdish teacher in Iraq who credits everything she is to her former Turkish teachers who stayed
during the bombings, and a Kurdish woman who had also gone to one of the Turkish schools in
Iraq and is now working as an engineer to bring water to the desert. Finally, in Somalia we follow
two Turkish doctors putting their lives at risk in a place where other relief organizations have
deemed too dangerous, a place where they sleep under armed guard.
