Abdu’l-Baha was the eldest son of Baha’u’llah. When Abdu’l-Baha passed away on 28 November 1921, He was eulogized as One who led humanity to the “Way of Truth,” as a “pillar of peace” and the embodiment of “glory and greatness.”
#EducationIsNotACrime has released the trailer for their anticipated documentary Changing the World, One Wall at a Time! #EducationIsNotACrime is the world’s biggest street art campaign. Its aim is to raise awareness of the denial of education of the Baha’is in Iran and this film captures the art and spirit behind their visually stunning global fight against injustice and human rights violations.
The documentary, Changing the World, One Wall at a Time, is set to premiere at the Harlem International Film Festival on May 5th and it explores how #EducationIsNotACrime is fighting the fact that thousands of Baha’is in Iran are not allowed to pursue higher education. Their tools in this battle: art and creativity. In collaboration with some of the world’s best street artists, they have created spectacular murals in cities around the globe.
