"Not a portrait film pure and simple, Khalfan and Zanzibar places the protagonist in Zanzibar culture, history, ethnicity, religion, and everyday life. It intersperses interviews, scenes of Mr. Khalfan's daily work and footage of Zanzibar with innovative use of superimposed texts discussing history, ethnicity, politics, and Islam."
