| Karbala Documentary - Trailer |
 |
Full info on who is behind this project:
Well there is this new Movie comming dis
Mauharam Its a documentary which has been
completed called "Karbala - When Skies Wept
Blood" on the tragedy of Karbala. It
is an hour long and was made by a group of
college
students and recent grads in the UK under
their media
company name, Red Tears. One of them is my
cousin and
recently visited the US for the first time.
After
talking to him about it and seeing the
teaser/trailer,
I've agreed to help them distribute it here
in the US
this Muharram. Below is the teaser/trailer:

Introduction to documentary:
On the Tenth Day, of the First Month of the
Islamic
calendar, in the year 61; on the hot, desert
plains of
Karbala, a small group of 73 noble
individuals were
massacred by an army of 70,000 men. The
victims were
devout followers of the religion of Islam.
The
perpetrators, led by Yazeed, son of
Mu'awiyah, claimed
to follow that very same religion. It was a
day 'When
Skies Wept Blood'. The sacrifice of Karbala
is
unrivaled from the dawn of time. Yet the
martyrdom of
Hussain and his exalted 72 companions is
neglected by
the majority of Muslims and non-Muslims
alike. Hussain
sought to bring justice through this great
sacrifice.
He did not revive the religion of Islam, he
resurrected it. RedTears brings you a
historical
documentary looking at the chain of events
from the
death of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, to the
tragic
massacre of his grandson Hussain and his
noble
family."
The following alims/scholars appear in the
documentary
as well as others:
Sayed Fadhil Milani
Sheikh Ayyub Rashid
Sayed Mahdi Al Modarresi
Sheikh Hamza Sodagar
Sayed Ammar Nakshawani
It is impressive and exciting that these
young men put
this together. Be sure to also check out
their website
(www.redtears. co.uk), which is still under
construction.
Regarding the distribution of the documentary
on
Karbala, inshallah, RedTears will be
dispatching
batches of DVDs internationally on the 15th
of January
to different locations.
The volume of DVDs sent to each country will
depend
upon estimates from the distributors in those
locations (that's me!) - that means I need to
know
exactly how many each of you need for your
different
centers. They are expecting to send between
1000-3000
copies to the US. We need your help to get
these out!
Once I have received the estimation for each
center, I
will send over the details of the center &
how many
DVDs each would like to RedTears. Once they
have
received this, they will send me the required
amount
to cover all these centers plus some extra
for
individual orders. Then I will mail them out
to be
received hopefully by the 1st of Muharram.
Details:
DVDs will be sold at a price of $12 across
America.
For every DVD sold, $10 will belong to
RedTears
Production while $2 can be kept for the
Imambargah
centers.
Each center will have until Arbaeen/Chehlum
to sell
all the DVDs that were sent to them. After
Arbaeen,
all centers will be required to transfer all
revenue
gained for RedTears to me and also send back
all those
copies of the DVD which have not been sold.
Any centers requiring more DVDs through
Muharram can
contact me directly or through you guys.
Please send
the following details to me at
AliNaquvi@yahoo. com:
Your Name:
Address:
Email:
Phone:
Center Name:
City & State of Center:
# of DVDs:
I need the above information by this
Saturday, January
13th.
Note: You will NOT have to put up any money
but will
be responsible for collecting money from your
centers
since you are my contact ($10 for each DVD
sold - $2
for each is kept by the center). MAKE SURE
THE CENTER
IS WILLING TO SELL THEM OR YOU CAN SELL THEM
ON YOUR
OWN BEFORE YOU ORDER.
RedTears is also setting up a pre-order
system on the
website at the moment so individuals can
order online
and have them sent to their individual
addresses.
Price will vary to different international
locations
but details will be on the website. America
online
price will be between $10-15 including
postage and
packaging. Or you can just get private copies
from me
as well. To do so, please write to me at
AliNaquvi@yahoo. com.
If you have any questions or need
clarification,
please ask send me an email.
A longer trailer should be released by the
weekend to
show it in a more documentary format.
If you need to write to your center to
introduce the
documentary and ask how many they want,
please feel
free to use information provided in this
email or on
the RedTears website ( www.redtears. co.uk),
including
the URL for the trailer (http://www.youtube.
