Aga Khan movie screened in Switzerland

From Shamir Allibhai's blog

Zee's Notes: One person who is having the time of his life and following his dream is Shamir Allibhai - the producer of 'The Aga Khan and the Ismailis'. He has travelled just about all over the world and has met the most amazing people you could imagine - I'm having a blast just following his adventures.
