Summary: Does not show you the true feeling of Hajj
Review: It is not that bad, but I think that they could have made it 10 times better. It goes thru the process really quickly without stoping and explaining each process. I t was skimming tru evrything. Maybe they had time constraints! Nevertheless, if someone wants to have an idea of hajj then it is not that bad as I said earlier.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful View of the Hajj and Mecca from 3 Perspectives
Review: This is a wonderful documentary of the Hajj with an inside view of the sacred city of Mecca. As a teacher of religious studies, I have seen several good documentary depictions of Mecca, but this is the best I have seen as it gives the viewer the perspective of a woman from Texas, a man from South Africa, and a man from Malaysia. This documentary takes the viewer on the Hajj, recounting the preparation for the Hajj, the journey to Mecca, and the various rituals associated with this Pillar of Islam. Most interestingly, the viewer learns about the meaning of the Hajj for the Muslim pilgrim. I HIGHLY recommend this DVD!
