Selam (2013)
A good first attempt
This movie is about the volunteers who moved to different parts of the world to invest in education. People inspired by Mr. Gulen went to abroad since early 90s to create opportunities for the poor countries. Mr. Gulen is known as Ghandi of Turkey or MLK of Turkey because of his ideas about education, human rights, and dialog between people of different religions/cultures. This movie tries to picture the story of these volunteers.
As far as I know, this is the first movie telling their story, and it is a good attempt. I think, there are a lot to tell about how people survived in different countries when they wanted to build schools, and adapt to the culture. The movie pictures it in three different continents and countries namely, Afghanistan, Senegal, and Bosnia.
