Following the screening of the film The Imam and the Pastor, as the men approached the platform the audience spontaneously gave them a standing ovation. Questions from students, social activists, youth workers, university professor, volunteers with new immigrants, kept the men sharing from their rich experiences for an hour and a half. The evening began with a First Nations Elder giving a welcome and traditional blessing, then a choir of First Nations sang a prayer song in Arabic and Latin. Paul Ndukwe, who initially invited the men and partnered with IofC, gave a short overview of Nigeria to set the scene. Chris Hartnell gave a brief overview of the film and the international team who had put it together.
