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: http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=egBT9lSoSDA 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. com/watch? v=egBT9lSoSDA).
