Dearest friends,

FRIDAY, FEB 27
6:30PM

This documentary is being shown all Globally on February 27. We are fortunate enough to be able to host such a powerful event at McMaster University MDCL room 1309

“The Baha’is are a religious minority in Iran. They are systematically imprisoned, tortured and killed by the Iranian government. The Islamic regime bans the Baha’is to study or teach in Iranian universities.

But the Baha’is DO teach, and they DO study.

Since 1987 the Baha’is started BIHE, an underground university with hundreds of students in Iran, and dozens of teachers in Iran and world. Through powerful interviews, exclusive secret footage shot by citizen journalists, rare archival material and dramatic letters written by a Baha’i prisoners currently in jail in Iran, To Light a Candle shows how a small minority has defied the brutal systematic religious persecution through non-violent resistance and educating their youth.”

To Light a Candle"? It is a screening of the film about the persecution of Baha'is in Iran. We will also include local musicians, most likely Nancy Campbell Dancers, local dignitaries, and many creative projects to raise awareness. We have invited 600 already from campus and it will be held on campus. This same film is being screened on this same date in towns ALL ACROSS THE PLANET. It is an international screening so we are uniting across the seas! We are also so blessed in Hamilton that Dr Jabbari can share a few words. She is a retired physician from here in Hamilton whose own father was executed due to the persecution. His body is featured in the film.
