Film on Egyptian Baha'is now available for download
A few months ago, I posted the fact that Egypt banned a documentary which documented the plight of Egyptian Baha’is.
The Baha’i Faith in Egypt blog reports that the film, called “Identity Crisis,” is now available for download:
The documentary film produced by the independent filmmaker, Mr. Ahmed Ezzat, has been just made public for free viewing in its entirety on an internet site. The 34-minutes film, “Identity Crisis: My Religion or My Country,” documents in vivid details the struggle of the Egyptian Baha’is in search for their basic civil rights in their homeland. Mr. Ahmed Ezzat is not a Baha’i. He is an Egyptian human rights activist who has graciously provided this film for public viewing at his own expense and on his own precious time.

(This version does not include subtitles)Below is the promotional segment which was published previously on YouTube:
We report Baha’i human rights abuses on the Muslim Network for Baha’i Rights. Please go there and consider contributing (if you’re a Muslim) to the content of this website, in the spirit of interfaith.

Haha Omid, I sure hope someone can finance a subtitled version. If not we can try our best to provide a transcript. It’s fairly short and do-able.
Dearly beloved Muslim brethren. i cannot say how moved i am that you would make this video about our Bahá’í friends in Egypt. i thank you from the bottom of my heart and will pray that your efforts on our behalf will be blessed by the Most Merciful. Thank you again.
Dear Muslim Brothers (& Sisters?),
Thank you for this effort to shed light on the injustices being heaped upon our Baha’i friends in the land of the Nile and the pyramids. Your courageous efforts remind me of the words of brother Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) when he said, “I am confident that, in the end, common sense and justice will prevail. I’m an optimist, brought up on the belief that if you wait to the end of the story, you get to see the good people live happily ever after.”
Godspeed.
