Dawn of the Light portrays several individuals from different continents as
they relate their own
personal search after truth and meaning. They share their discovery that God has sent two Divine
Manifestations—the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh—Whose teachings are revolutionizing human thought and behaviour,
changing darkness into light. The film shows glimpses of how this same discovery is inspiring the efforts of
many across the globe to serve humanity and to contribute to building a new pattern of life.
There is a story unfolding. It is a story of humanity’s progress through
history, propelled by the teachings of Messengers of God Who have guided humanity through its stages of
development, and now to the dawn of its maturity.
Across the globe, followers of Bahá'u'lláh and their friends are striving in
earnest to contribute to the well-being of their communities and the advancement of society.
This series of short films captures the insights and conversation among
participants as they explore some of the themes that are central to the process of community building. The
words of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, “God is the helper of those
souls whose aim is to serve humanity and whose efforts and endeavours are devoted to the good and betterment
of all mankind”, inspire the hearts of many youth, who are collectively striving to translate their
aspirations into reality.
Young and old, in cities and villages around the world, are taking part in a
process of community building based on concepts enshrined in the Bahá'í Teachings. This uplifting film
captures the insights and experiences of children,
junior youth, youth, and adults—in Canada, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and India—whose
efforts to build vibrant communities are at the frontiers of learning.
