Gazelle Media<\/a>. The documentary, narrated by Ben Kingsley, tells the amazing story of Ibn Battuta, the greatest explorer of the Old World, following his first pilgrimage between 1325 and 1326 from Tangier to Mecca. The story is book-ended by a close-up look at the contemporary Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca that draws three million Muslims from around the world.<\/p>\nTo win, answer this question: Who won the Brass Crescent Award for Best Blog in 2006?<\/b><\/p>\n
