 doubletake.tv presents hip, inspiring stories of ordinary Bahá'í doing extraordinary things. Take the example of Layli Miller, a law student who took on one of the most famous cases in the recent history of women's rights and then went on to start the Tahirih Justice Center. The Tahirih Justice Center takes on pro bono cases promoting the equality of men and women, changing the world one case at a time. Or, take the example of Tony Deamer, an Australian married to an Indian-Malay woman living in Vanuatu, South Pacific. He wishes to uplift Vanuatu society, and has started a coconut oil fuel company. It's part of his bigger vision of building God's kingdom on earth. He and his wife, and their four children, are changing the world. "Welcome to doubletake.tv, where you will find that there is always another way to look at the world around you. Here you can watch multilingual, multicultural content with substance.

http://www.doubletake.tv:80/cms/way-forward-english new documentary.  ___________________________ SOUTH AFRICAN FILM SHOWS FAITH IN ACTION JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, 19 August 2007 (BWNS) -- Two professional filmmakers have finished an hourlong documentary about three Baha'is and how they practice their faith, and the film is being aired on television in South Africa and neighboring countries. "Baha'i Faith: A Way Forward" was produced by Ryan and Leyla Haidarian at the request of the South African Broadcasting Corporation, which has licensed rights to the documentary for two years. "We created this film to show what the Baha'i Faith has to offer on a practical level for the world," Mrs. Haidarian said. The film gives an introduction to the Baha'i Faith and focuses on three individuals in South Africa and how their faith is reflected in service to others: -- Eunice Mabaso turned her home into an orphanage after her brother and his wife died and she took in their four children. Over the years, hundreds of other orphans - many of them living in poverty in the streets - came to her home for shelter, love, and protection. "We can change the poverty and crime of this earth," she says. "The future of South Africa will become brighter." -- Iraj Abedian, an economist and policy adviser to the government, tries to address problems resulting from extremes of wealth and poverty. One of his projects is a collective home-financing program that helps low-income working people save money and invest, but he is careful to emphasize that his work is based on principles from what he believes is a divine plan. He says you can look at the world as a construction site, "full of dust and mud and rubbish, and yet see in it the (new) edifice that is rising. ... To be at work on the construction site - it's exciting." -- Tahirih Matthee helps provide training programs for people with no experience using computers and the Internet. Her course includes education about gender equality - she points out that equality of women and men is an explicit teaching of the Baha'i Faith - and also information about HIV/AIDS prevention. "For something to be successful, you need vision," she says. "Every person can be happy when things are ideal, but our true nobility lies in the journey of being happy precisely when things are not ideal." The new film includes historical photos of the Baha'i community of South Africa, including its founding during the time of apartheid. "In those days, the Baha'is stuck to the letter of the law, but they didn't really stick to the spirit of the law," says the film. A fundamental principle of the Baha'i Faith is the unity of the races and the elimination of prejudice. Great precaution was taken for the first election of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of South Africa. It was held in a farmhouse, and whites entered through the front door, black Africans through the back door. "If the security police approached, the African Baha'is began cleaning and cooking. The white Baha'is played cards and socialized," the narrator relates. The Haidarians produced and financed the documentary through their company, Race Productions, in South Africa. The film can be seen on the Web at http://www.doubletake.tv/cms/way-forward-english. The Web site also gives information for ordering a DVD. Ryan Haidarian heads up development and production at the National Film and Video Foundation of South Africa, the organization that produced the Academy Award-winning film "Tsotsi." A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin in the United States, Mr. Haidarian won numerous awards, including HBO's Peabody Award, for a documentary about famed American football coach Darrell Royal. Leyla Haidarian has worked as a journalist, actress, and filmmaker in Europe, North America and Africa, and can currently be seen playing a supporting role in a South African drama series.

Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another. http://www.doubletake.tv/cms/stroke-of-insight Fortunately, I have never had a stroke, but as she spoke, everything she says was very familiar to me. I have experienced the oneness she describes. This was very fascinating to me. And though the thought of a stroke is frightening...the humor she conveys during this video was amazingly refreshing. Please feel free to discuss it here.
