شکفتن از شکاف سنگ – تیزر (Breaking the Chains TRAILER Persian/Farsi)

September 13, 2020, in Videos > Short Film, by

This is the Persian/Farsi trailer for ‘Breaking the Chains: The Story of the Girls School of Iran‘, a short animation about the role Baha’is played in bringing education to girls in Iran in the early 1900s. The animation explains how in the early 1900s, only 5% of the population of Iran had access to basic writing skills, and knowledge of the sciences were kept exclusively to men. Breaking this cycle of oppression was no small feat, and that’s when Tahirih and Abdu’l-Baha come into the story.

Film description in Persian:

تنها پنج در صد از مردم ایران امکان فراگیری خواندن ونوشتن و یا تحصیل علوم و مهارتها را داشتند، و آنهم فقط برای مردان بود. شکستن چرخه ظلم و ستم هزاران ساله کار آسانی نبود. اینجا است که طاهره قرة العین و عبدالبهاء وارد داستان میشوند، داستان “شکفتن از شکاف سنگ”.

This film was made by Flavio Azm Rassekh in collaboration with PersianBMS.
