The Prophet is a documentary-style dramatization of Kahlil Gibran's classic best-selling book, as realized for the screen by director Roberto Quagliano. Featuring the talents of Pino Colizzi, Patrizia Piccinini, and narrator Pierse Stevens, The Prophet is an ambitious translation into audiovisual language of what was once considered an unfilmable work and was shot on stunning locations in Petra and the Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan.
