For its part in the Five Years Too Many campaign, the Baha’i community of France is planning a special video event near the world famous Eiffel Tower.
The Eiffel Tower
Scheduled for 12 May at 5 pm, a group of young people will gather at the place du Trocadéro-Parvis des droits de l’Homme – the Plaza of Human Rights – to shoot a video that examines the reasons that Baha’is are persecuted in Iran.
“The script for the video calls for a succession of different people, of various ages, backgrounds, and languages, who each discuss the reasons that Baha’is are imprisoned in Iran,” said Sophie Menard, director of the Office of External Affairs of the Baha’is of France.
“The aim is to create a connection with the viewer, by showing how everyone, regardless of their belief or background, is also affected by violations of human rights,” she said. “With the Eiffel Tower in the background, it is hoped that this will help symbolize the degree to which we are all affected by injustice.”
A short video teaser has been created to promote the event, to which all are welcome. That video can be viewed by clicking here. To download the video, click here: Paris Five Years campaign video
