A Picture Speaks A Thousand Words
Dear Fellow Humankind,
Slavery and generally any social, political, economic injustices, anywhere is a direct threat aimed at the social justice, political and economic existence and stability everywhere. - The lack of action and the obvious indifference exhibited by those capable of exposing and stopping these atrocities will be perceived as a green light given to the perpetrators and those responsible. - We, the humankind are wedged in an inescapable common bond and a network of mutuality, tied together in a fabric of life and destiny. - Whatever affects one, it shall reverberate allover the world and will affect all of us. - One should never forget that two (2) of the most deadly and destructive Weapons of Mass Destruction are - Ignorance - and - Apathy -.
My name is Bahram Maskanian. I am a Persian American man. - A political, social justice, activist, essayist, environmentalist, male-feminist, database - website designer, songwriter, producer, and poet. - It has been over two (2) years, since early 2004, when I became aware of alarming reports about the widespread existence of a highly active barbaric and tragic human trafficking and slavery in Asia, numbering in - thousands 1000(s) per day in - Iran / Persia alone. These innocent victims, sometimes as young as eight (8) years old are enslaved for forced prostitution, domestic sex slaves, horse / camel jockey, forced labor, religious sacrifices - murdered for GOD sake -, or for being murdered and butchered for their body parts to be sold in the international organ transplant markets.
Worldwide - over - 14 million - women disappear each year from the face of the Earth. - Over - 5 million - young women suffer horrific death due to forced prostitution diseases and injuries each year. - Domestic violence kills over - 18 million - women. - Millions of newborn female infants are deliberately killed each year in Africa and Asia, which leads to shortage of women thus encouraging the barbaric act of stealing, or buying and enslaving women from other parts of the world. These slaughters are all due to lack of education and barbaric teachings of religion by the power hungry criminal mullahs.
I began researching the issue and soon found out that not only the tragic problem of human trafficking and slavery exists in - Iran / Persia, but also the criminal mullah's regime is heavily profiting from the sacrifice of defenseless Iranian / Persian children - young women - and men. - Based on my research, and also on the testimony of a few survivors of this heinous practice, I wrote a dramatized screenplay for a feature film entitled: - Shackles - Womankind Enchained - with the objective of shocking the world while shaming and exposing the bastards involved in this savage practice. - I have done all I could, humanly and ethically possible to bring this tragic human problem of slavery to the World's attention. As of today, - April 24, 2006, - I have written over - 5983 - letters, along with countless thousands of e-mails, to the gatekeepers of U.S. entertainment industry: lawyers, agents, corporate producers, electronic mass media, journalists, the editors of major newspapers, feminists organizations of all sizes and color, human right organizations and many more, about slavery and the - Shackles - Womankind Enchained - screenplay, to no avail.
I am sure we can all agree that the need to publicly fund our social and political governing system and activities to prevent the current rampant corruption are as realistic and necessary, as the need to also publicly fund our truth-telling enlightening news programming and film production. - By the same token, we can all agree absolutely, that without public oversight, unchecked increase of economic and political power at any level will certainly lead to greedy, criminal and destructive conduct, instigating corruption at all layers of our society.
It is a well-known fact that our social, economic and political governing system and our mass media have been bought and paid for and are controlled by the greedy, selfish and corrupt ruling elites. All of whom are under the false assumption that not only they own the world, they also own the people as well, in their eyes we are all slaves with different degrees of freedom. The ruling elites whose attitude towards slavery, human suffering, and war is to make money from it, cover it up and never reveal the truth at all costs.
It has become painfully clear that the likes of - Warner Brothers - MGM - Disney - NBC Universal - Sony - Paramount - Miramax - Viacom - Columbia - Twentieth Century Fox - and others like them wouldn't touch this project with a thirty (30) foot pole, let alone put up the money to make this film. These giant nation-less corporations - already in bed with governments - that are profiting from variety of different kinds of slavery would never produce a film like - Shackles -.
Those who did bother to read the - Shackles - Womankind Enchained -, screenplay and the movie treatment, almost unanimously made the following interesting, but sad statement below:
- - A genuinely heartfelt, truthful and very powerful story, I learned a whole lot from it. It made me cry, made me think and I even laughed. A - controversial and thought provoking - story indeed, but due to today's political climate in the US it would be tad risky to produce - Shackles - Womankind Enchained - screenplay into a feature film. - - They all said.
Only through a publicly funded production we can set a precedent and gain the ability to freely create an original and uncompromising work of art, reflecting life's realities, without any fear of reprisal and censorship. I am hopeful and enthusiastic that we, the ordinary people, can all come together and make the production of - Shackles - Womankind Enchained - film possible. This film could shock the world into the realization of this widespread tragic problem, expose and shame the perpetrators publicly by shining the spot light on those who are shamelessly profiting from human misery, by supporting and encouraging slavery all over the world.
The question I have been asked frequently is that, - would the public buy tickets to see this film? - The answer is absolutely. - Passion of the Christ -, grossed total of 324 million dollars worldwide. - But the so-called anti Christ film, - The Da Vinci Code -, with all the damnation and bad publicity it received throughout the world, sold over 340 million dollars on the first day of its release. This fact proves that the people of the world are hungry for truth and information. This fact proves that the majority of people know their government and nation-less corporations are in bed together, using religion to enslave the public and to enrich themselves at all costs to humanity and the environment in which we all live.
A professional filmmaker wrote to me and along with his well wishes he said:
- - I hope you are able to produce your script. You may want to approach some activist actors that have their own production companies about attempting something like this. You could probably shoot a film like this under $10 million in the American Southwest - -.
That means if only one million caring and concerned people donate for one (1) ticket each, we can make this film and put an end to this barbaric practice of human trafficking / slavery. I must emphasize that one of the major benefits of producing and presenting this film to the World would be the recognition of the fact that womankind and mankind are equal and only together as humankind we can solve our countless massive manmade problems we are faced today in order to survive, learn and evolve.
I am sure you agree and feel the same, I hope you can find it in your heart to consider donating small sum of ten dollars - $10 - for your advance ticket to help fund the production of - Shackles - Womankind Enchained - film. You shall receive your ticket(s) as soon as the film production is completed via US mail.
We, the humankind, must not allow - truth, human suffering and healing to ever become controversial. Only ordinary people, like us, who recognize that one's salvation as a human being is directly linked to the salvation of the world community in which we all live, can specialize in doing what seems to be impossible at the time.
We all are part of life. Life transcends through humankind's evolution. The best gift any one of us, the humankind can offer to life itself and humanity, is the concurring of one's self and living one's life in moderation. The great and glorious masterpiece of humanity is to know how to live with purpose, what is your purpose in life?
Please make sure to provide accurate information when purchasing your advance ticket(s). We are going to need your name, last name, mailing address and e-mail. We do know and understand how valuable one's privacy really is, therefore we shall never share your private information with any third party, company, or anyone.
Sincerely,
Bahram Maskanian

- - Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will. - - Frederick Douglass
