Koran By Heart trailer

This should be good.  The documentary premieres tomorrow on HBO.  It follows three kids-- a Tajik boy, a girl from the Maldives, and a Senegalese boy-- as they compete in a Koran memorization competition in Cairo.  Despite their brilliance, the Tajik boy is illiterate in his native language and the girl's father insists that she become a housewife.
