The Faith (1970)

A documentary on the tomb of Imam Reza, the 8th Imam in Shia Islam. The film shows the various rituals performed by visiting pilgrims alongside "behind the scenes" footage of the management of such a heavily trafficked facility, including spectacular images of the laborious and ceremonious process of sorting piles of money and objects (letters, human hair) that devotees throw inside the tomb for good fortune.
