I am waiting anxiously to hear further details on the progress of this film. If this film is actively being pursued is there any opportunity for us to invest or contribute financially to its realization? The present U.S.-Iran political tensions may stir the masses to view such a film and the production and release may coincide at an opportune time. Crisis and Victory!

Baha'i greetings from Alaska!

May God shower His blessings upon the makers of this movie... We should acknowledge the sacrifice these 10 wonderful angels of God... And many others who were martyred as well... And to remind us to bear in mind of our duties while on the face of earth.... I cannot wait for the release of the movie...Hope it will be soon. Alla'u'abha and God bless you...

With loving Bahai greetings from Malaysia.... :)

Yes. Indeed. Thanks for reminding me about it. It has been a while since any news came out from the production team. I assume they are still seeking funding - the $10 million 'grant' from Icon Productions apparently was more rumor than fact.

Alla'u'abha Friends
My name is Anna Starr. I am a Bahai residing in New Zealand. I Study Fine Arts at Elam Contemporary School of Fine Arts and i am embarking on a challenging new project. I will producing an installational art piece that will tell the incredible story of Mona Mahmunizhad. It will be created in the hope that her voice can continue to resonate throughout the world and tell people of the relentless persecution that continues in Iran. I pray that it will reach many people and touch their hearts. I will post some more follow-up information here in the future to update on the progress. As i may need some help from my fellow Bahais and your friends to make this project successful. This service project will also help to bring about awareness of Mona's Dream which im very excited about.

God bless Mona

Kia Ora Anna,

How did your installation go?
I'm interested because I'm also an artist and a Bahai.
If you wish to email me off the list about this, Baquia knows my email address.

Here's what I do: www.sonjavank.com

Hi Anna

I'd like to hear about the projects you are working on. I don't think I came across your work at the recent open day.

If you would like to meet up for a coffee and a chat let me know at johnwardknox@gmail.com

I am very excited for this project and would like to sincerely suggest, if funds be necessary, I believe truly that many of our spiritual brothers & sisters would donate towards this from all around the world... Please let us know somehow if this is a case..

Baquia · 9 months ago

Anisa, the guidance that I've seen from the UHJ is that this should be a private endeavor and not officially supported by the Baha'i funds. But I'm sure if you want to donate money, you can contact Jack Lenz.

Anyone knows who will direct the movie?
Thanks.
Mehran :)

Baquia · 8 months ago

Good question. Since there has been no news of progress since almost one year ago, I don't think the project is really moving forward at this time. I'll ask around and see if anyone knows more details.

mehran · 8 months ago

I am a filmmaker and a Baha'i; and I haven't been able to get any answers from anyone. I believe to direct Mona's Dream should be a calling and not another day in the office.
This is a great responsibility, not with respect to film industry, but with respect to Baha'is all over the world who will see this movie with a sense of pride and respect. Mona's Dream represents the untold stories of many, many other Baha'is who have shared Mona's fate. Hence the right director, with the right vision, is pivotal.
Mehran :)
