FREEDOM FIGHTER follows the footsteps of Rev. Majed El Shafie over a four year period as he travels on fact-finding missions to investigate and document human rights abuses against religious minorities around the world, focusing on Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and China and the rising of anti-Semitism. You will witness how Rev. El Shafie confronts political leaders with evidence of their governments’ human rights violations, persecution and slave camps. Rev. El Shafie also brings hope and healing to his victims as seen by his daring and dangerous rescue mission to bring a little girl and her family safely to Canada. The film also covers Rev. El Shafie’s efforts to bring these issues to the attention of the Canadian government leaders as well as his support for our Canadian troops.
The Toronto event will also serve as the official launch of One Free World International’s One Million Voices Campaign. To view the trailer for FREEDOM FIGHTER or learn more about the One Million Voices Campaign, please visit http://www.freedomfightermovie.com/.
