- Shackles - Iranian Women Enchained -
- A Picture Speaks A Thousand Words -
For Immediate Release: - January 19, 2007
Dear Womankind And Mankind, My Fellow Humankind,
To be an informed individual aware of issues impacting all of humankind, one tends to seek and be exposed to vital news and information that everybody must become aware of and know. But unfortunately, the separating wall of ignorance built by the mass media shields a large majority of the world's population from being exposed to the truth, one of which is the barbaric and tragic problem of human trafficking and slavery.
I have recently finished writing a screenplay for a feature film, entitled: - Shackles - Womankind Enchained -, and a sound track consisting of six (6) songs. I am told that without personally knowing someone in the entertainment business, or without an agent, or an attorney to introduce and represent the idea, there is no chance of bringing this vital, and sadly not much talked about problem of young women and men, kidnapped and sold by human traffickers / slave traders to the world's attention in the form of a motion picture.
Shackles - Womankind Enchained - paints a realistic and clear picture of the harsh and brutal consequences of being a woman under Islamic dictatorship regimes, particularly in and around Iran / Persia, Central Asia and North Africa. The screenplay is the tale of a realistic journey of two (2) close friends, educated freethinking Iranian women, Azar and Roya based on actual true daily events. It opens a window looking into the miserable fate of womankind in the shackles of religion, controlled and enslaved by male dictators according to the dogmatic teachings of Islam. After suffering one last beating at a peaceful political protest in front of Tehran University by Iran's ruling mullahs Azar and Roya decide to escape Iran through the Afghanistan Pakistan border.
In the process of running away from Iran, Azar and Roya fall prey into the widespread web of human traffickers / slave traders. In a harsh way Azar and Roya are confronted with the horrible reality of young women and men, captured, sold and enslaved for forced prostitution, domestic sex slaves, horse / camel jockey, forced labor, religious sacrifices, or for being murdered and butchered for their body parts to be sold in organ transplant markets. Azar and Roya suffer repeated brutal beating and rape after being sold to three (3) slave traders prior to their escape from the hands of these men.
At this point I am seeking assistance to find the right concerned person, or Production Company, or Entertainment Agent, and or an Attorney for representation to pitch the idea. Your help would be greatly appreciated and also financially rewarded in an appropriate manner. If interested, I would be glad to forward you a copy of the movie treatment, screenplay, the sound track song's lyrics and my biography in a - PDF -, Acrobat reader format via e-mail, or a hard copy by regular mail.
I am sure we can all agree that the voiceless and faceless womankind's hope of ever removing the enchaining shackles and obtaining equality, human rights, dignity and freedom will be possible only by exposing the criminal barbaric treatment they receive and the atrocities done to them every single day. We should do what we can to prevent any further delay in exposing the world's population to this barbaric and tragic problem. Delay means more innocent young women and men will suffer and die daily in the hands of the slave traders.
Shackles - Womankind Enchained -, film will also expose the close relationship between the European and American nation-less corporations with the barbaric Islamic Republic of ruling mullah’s in Iran. Mullah's criminal and savage behavior towards the defenseless Iranian people and their terrorist activities, thus setting up the stage for a worldwide boycott of those corporations in bed with mullahs and support for a non-violence transformation of power in Iran by the Iranian people.
Please join me, and let's make it our mission to shock the world into the realization of this tragic problem. Let's empower womankind worldwide to achieve unimagined possibilities and transformations through a cooperative dignifying partnership amongst the womankind and the mankind, the humankind, by utilizing the superior power and wisdom of common sense based on ethical standards and modern technology, to attain economic prosperity for all of humankind, eradication of war, poverty and the clean up our one and only home, Planet Earth.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
Bahram Maskanian

Seems to me what you need is a grant. Since the US dept. of State takes the subject matter very seriously, I suggest you contact them, and ask them if they can help point you in the right direction to see your project goals met.
http://www.state.gov/
Check for contact info under the appropriate dept listing concerning this issue, and good luck. I think you'll find it worth the price of a phone call. |

Dear Bahram:
you might also want to contact NOW (National Organization for Women). I don't know how helpful they would be, but it doesn't hurt to contact them. Another place that you might want to check is HARPO Corp. That is Oprah Winfrey's company, they might be interested in supporting your film. |

My dear fellow compatriots,
I have focused my time, energy and attention predominantly on the issue of female slavery in Iran / Persia, chiefly on the lack of woman rights and abuses under the mullahs regime. - In that regard as of today; January 23, 2007, I have contacted almost over 7189 people, letters and countless (1000)s of e-mails, to the members of major and minor media, the gatekeepers of the U.S. and European entertainment industry: lawyers, agents, corporate producers, electronic mass media, journalists, the editors of major newspapers, the so-called feminists organizations of all sizes and color, human rights organizations and many more, including NOW and Oprah, about slavery and the - Shackles - Womankind Enchained - screenplay, to no avail.
If you as a concerned individual write to whomever you know and demand action maybe they listen then.
Sincerely,
Bahram

Have you tried Sundance Film? this is the one that Robert Redford has created in Utah. I think the Sundance Festival is in January & is still going on. I thought all amatures could bring in their films. |
