Koran by Heart (2011)
In this 80-minute documentary, three 10-year-old children leave their native countries to participate in one of the Islamic world's most famous competitions, a test of memory and recitation known as The International Holy Koran Competition. Up against much older students, these youngsters have committed the 600 pages of the Koran to memory, and will put their skills to the test before the elite of the world's Muslim community in Cairo, Egypt. In the midst of this intense international competition, the three young competitors –two boys from Senegal and Tajikistan, and one girl from the Maldives – face uncertain futures at home, as they are caught between fundamentalist and moderate visions of Islam. The children discuss their recitation techniques – with accompanying, completely improvised melodies – and talk about their nerves and excitement as they finally compete before a panel of judges.

I learned so much from this doc. I think the children in the film are of the strongest character, and brave. I had no idea this sort of thing went on in the world but this doc exposed me to it. So for this doc showing something incredible and teaching me something I'm a big fan. What's this film about you say? Pre-teens memorizing the Koran, word for word!

There is so much more going on here than a competition among children. Children, I might add, that are impossible not to love. Congrats to HBO and Greg Barker who directs this beautiful documentary film.

Amazing Kids .. hard not to be amazed with there talent .. I felt sad for the girl from Maldives and her fathers choices .. High achievers should be invested on there counted as treasures .. He should learn more about islam and the role of women. its a huge loss for there community if he would let her to be just a housewife. Great work to the Director and hope to see more
