Story
Tahirih the Pure is arguably one of the most important visionary women of our time...
in the darkest days of oppressed 19th century Iran she precipitated events that majorly influence gender equality today. Television scriptwriter & editor Bev Matthews (profile at bottom of page) has teamed up with award-winning filmmaker Ruth Beni to tell Tahirih’s audacious story to the world in 2019. Ruth’s company Animage Films holds an impressive track record for reaching wide audiences so... check out the above (highlighted) links to let your imagination run wild on how Tahirih's extraordinary story will fly up, out and into the mainstream for all to hear ... in this, the Bab's Bicentenary year!
Development begins on April 8th!
For the advancement of women (and men!), justice and unity...
Thank you to everyone for supporting this!! Much love!

4 years ago(*This is Post is broken into 4 parts! This is the end part!*) We’ve finally completed the development period and are poised to begin pre-production in April when our head animator begins Tahirih’s storyboard and design. We’ll raise up another fundraising platform to get this next stage off the ground – this time possibly through Crowdfunding – so please keep a look out, continue to be involved if you can, and share the news if you have time. Meanwhile, I send much love, many thanks again, and wish you all a bountiful Fast! Beverley

4 years agoThis series promises more exposure for Tahirih’s story, and carries potential for it to journey further. In the meantime, myself and a great team (organically assembled through this mysterious process!) have reached a momentous stage as we now forge ahead to make the first ‘episode’, namely the Tahirih film you so kindly supported.

4 years agoHowever, it has also been a very slow process. I have learned a lot about the short animation industry and continue to learn a whole lot more about the essential matter of distribution impact. In light of this, to create something robust and long-lasting for our demanding digital world, what began as one single short film to honour the Bicentenary of the Bab year, has now also become a series (of interconnected short films about contemporary issues changing our world today) inspired by Tahirih’s ‘trumpet blast’ to the world.
