Through the voices of 50 converts from 25 countries, FREEDOM documentary is a new and unique way to tackle Islamophobia.



FREEDOM IS A UNIQUE WAY TO TACKLE ISLAMOPHOBIA

  • Islamophobia is growing at an alarming rate in many parts of the world.
  • Millions of dollars are spent every year to spread hatred towards Muslims
  • Our Ummah has done very little to clarify misconceptions about Islam. 
  • For how long can we stay silent and ignore the problem?
  • Converts can reach out to their communities and be part of the solution.
  • FREEDOM counts already more than 1000 supporters around the world. 

TODAY you have a unique opportunity to make a real change by supporting a documentary that has already made a tremendous impact in 5 countries through 15 screenings and in front of an audience of more than 1 500 people in less than 3 months. Today you can help us make history and be among the first to believe and support this project to help us reach more people and battle Islamophobia around the world through our World Screening Tour 2018 in 10 countries over 5 continents.

Join our growing list of supporters, leave a legacy and help us make history. 

50 converts from 25 countries over 6 continents in 15 languages = FREEDOM

1. 10 MAIN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT FREEDOM:

1. Our first campaign on LaunchGood last Ramadan was very successful 
2. Islam is misrepresented in the mass media
3. A documentary film is a very powerful medium to educate people on Islam.
4. Converts are great ambassadors of Islam in their respective countries. 
5. Halis Media's  team has more than 10 years of experience in media
6. Halis Media Team is not taking any salaries for their work on the film. 
7. FREEDOM has a huge Sadaqah Jariah potential.
8. The film will be subtitled in many languages InshaAllah. 
9. The film will be soon broadcasted on TV and online as well. 
10. Everyone who is Muslim now has benefited from the struggle and hard dedicated work of the previous generations of Muslims who gave their entire life to spread the message of Islam which ultimately reached out to you and your family. You have an opportunity to do the same and return the favour to fellow future Muslims by supporting this film TODAY.

2. WHAT MAKES "FREEDOM" A UNIQUE PROJECT TO OVERCOME ISLAMOPHOBIA?

FREEDOM is a spiritual and emotional 90 minutes documentary film featuring 50 converts from 25 countries over 6 continents in 15 languages combined with stunning footages of some of the most fascinating places and Masjids of Malaysia.

In the wake of a global rise of anti-Muslim sentiments, film directors Julien Drolon & Zara Shafie are giving a voice to a global community of converts during a crucial time when Islam needs to be more understood and appreciated as a religion that is protecting the freedom, rights and dignity of every human being. This unique documentary features 25 men and 25 women from different racial background from countries like Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, China, Japan, Kenya, England, France, Germany, Poland, Peru, Mexico, Australia and much more. It features entrepreneurs, teachers, actors environmentalists, lawyers etc...- all of them speaking from the very depths of theirs souls on their perspectives on FREEDOM and ISLAM.


"I thought the film was really great. It gives you an insight of what Islam is all about from an outsiders' point of view because these 50 people are all converts. So they come from a background where Islam is foreign to them and that they've discovered it... In the world that we live in, ignorance is a key to Islamophobia and I think this is a great movie to kinda battle that."

3. WHO ARE THE FILM DIRECTORS OF FREEDOM?  

Julien Drolon is a French Muslim convert residing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He is a former International Reporter and singer songwriter. After many years of research on the topic of religion, Julien embraced Islam online in the Philippines in 2012. Since then, he has been involved in many Da'wah projects including New Muslim Care, which caters to converts after their Shahada. Julien is the business development director of an agro business company that offers investment opportunities in Asia. 

Zara Shafie is Julien's wife, a Malaysian mother of two boys who holds a Bachelor Degree in Chemical Engineering. She was a former soprano/jazz singer but after she rediscovered Islam in 2013, she left the music industry. She worked as an event manager for major oil & gas events previously and had left the corporate world to volunteer in da'wah projects.

Together, they created and produced two TV shows in Malaysia "Salam Hari Ahad" in which they interviewed  world renowned scholars such as Mufti Menk, Tariq Ramadan, Abdurraheem Green, Muhammad Salah and more as well as "Salam Mualaf" which focused on Malaysian converts and was watched by more than 2 million viewers on TV9. In 2015, they created together Halis Media whose vision is to introduce the pure message of Islam to the world through the most innovative media platforms. FREEDOM is the first not-for-profit project of Halis Media which is behind all the initiatives of FREEDOM - production, directing, marketing, promotion and distribution of the documentary.

4. WORKING ON A LONG TERM SOLUTION TO ISLAMOPHOBIA
Providing a solution to Islamophobia has been one of the aims for Halis Media. Julien Drolon, the co-Director of Freedom has been regularly invited to Istanbul, Turkey to talk about practical solutions to battle Islamophobia since 2015. Now in 2018, Halis Media has launched the FREEDOM film to help realise this aim. After the film screeing in Istanbul, an article has been published on FREEDOM. It reads below.

FREEDOM: a film that could be the cure to Islamophobia

“FREEDOM”, a documentary film with authentic stories of 50 people who have converted to Islam from 25 countries and that has caused great repercussions in the world, met the audience at Ibn Haldun University. French co-director of the film Julien Drolon and CEO of Halis Media said that one of the main objectives of the film was intended to respond to growing anti-Islamism in the world, especially in Europe.

“FREEDOM,” in the context of its 2018 world tour met the audience at the Ibn Haldun University in Turkey after Malaysia and South Africa. Aiming to find an answer to the question “Is the world free today?”, the film tells the stories and testimonies of 50 people who have converted to Islam. The converts also tell why they choose Islam and their attitudes towards increasing Islamophobia. The film is enriched with images of mosques and religious artifacts in Malaysia.

After it has been screened in Malaysia, South Africa and Turkey Freedom is going to meet audiences in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, The Philippines and Mexico among other countries as Halis Media, the production company who produced Freedom, informed us that the world screening tour of “Freedom” will take place in 10 countries over 5 continents InshaAllah.

French co- director Julien Drolon, who answered questions after the screening at Ibn Haldun University and introduced himself as a convert in his thirties, stated that he and his wife Zara Shafie had decided to make the film two years ago. “We were visiting France and we realized that Islamophobia had increased greatly and spread all over the world. Obviously, non-Muslims know almost nothing about Islam. ” he said.

FREEDOM film in session

Drolon realized that people who belonged to different religions and converted to Islam, will have a profound effect while telling the message of Islam. “So we have found people who chose Islam from 25 different countries. The beautiful side of the film is that these people speak about why they chose Islam in their own languages and they convey the true message of Islam to people. Only Allah (SWT) will tell us whether we are successful or not in this. ”

Julien Drolon believes that Islamophobia is linked with racism and that converts are the best Ambassadors of Islam and could greatly contribute to clear misconceptions about Islam and battle Islamophobia. “I chose ‘FREEDOM’ because this is a value that the West constantly uses and cares about. So I wanted to disclose their false perceptions about Islam through a value that they appreciate. So I call it ‘FREEDOM’ pondering about what is the fate of our freedom in choosing Islam? ” He said.

Drolon continued:

“We can say that Islam gives real freedom. The freedom of Islam is a freedom to save people from oppression. Islam’s vision of freedom is a vision that will save humanity from oppression and make it accessible to Allah, so you can be completely free. We can tell the whole world that Islam is the only source of freedom.”

5. BUDGET SPENT & BUDGET NEEDED NOW

After 2 years of production, 50 interviews conducted in 15 languages, more than 3,000 km of driving around 10 states in Malaysia, 1,500 minutes of viewing footages, 60 days of editing, 200 hours of translation and subtitling we finally released FREEDOM in April 2018 in South Africa. Over the past 2 years we had support of 100 sponsors from 10 different countries.


Together, we collected USD$55,000 for the production of the film and the beginning of the tour in South Africa, Turkey, UK and Malaysia. Now, we need your help to keep going and finish our World Screening Tour in 10 countries over 5 continents. Last Ramadan we collected 17 000USD$ on LaunchGood through our very successful campaign "CALL HUMANITY BACK TO ISLAM" that started only in the last 10 days of Ramadan. The minimum that we need now to finish the tour will be USD$8,000 but in reality we believe that we will need much more if we want to screen FREEDOM in at least 3 cities per country with an average of 200 people per screening. In total, our objective is to screen FREEDOM 30 times to at least 3,000 people during this World Screening Tour. At the moment we screened FREEDOM 15 times to more than 1500 people.

Check out how our last campaign went on LaunchGood at the link below:

On The 27th of Ramadan. He Took His SHAHADA

As Salam Alaykoum Dear Supporters Of LaunchGood,


Many years ago, Peter from Australia took his Shahada on the 27th of Ramadan, maybe it was Laylatul Qadr on that night who knows, except Allah. But imagine the reward for the ones who witnessed Peter taking his shahada on that night. 


Watch His Shahada Story on the link below: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iWFvMx2fXE


Following the interview of 50 converts from 25 countries, we have more than 25 hours of amazing content from converts coming from all over the world. Peter is one of them and we are planning to edit, subtitle and distribute those shorts inspiring stories of converts to the Young Muslim Generation with the intention to Bring Them Back To Islam as many have lost their way and interest in our Deen.


Support us tonight on the 27th of Ramadan as chances that it could be Laylatul Qadr is high based on some authentic Hadiths. No need to mention the reward you will get If you give on that night, it is just phenomenal. Each video costs 100USD, each video has a huge potential for Sadaqah Jariah as people could benefit from it even after you passed away. Donate TONIGHT at https://www.launchgood.com/freedomyouth

BRING BACK ISLAM TO THE YOUTH - New Campaign Announcement

https://youtu.be/3nTbj5d92i8


As Salam Alaykoum Dear LaunchGood Supporters,


Hope you are enjoying your last 10 ten days of Ramadan.


I have been Muslim for 10 years and for the first time of my life as a Muslim, my mother who is not yet Muslim came to spend some time in Ramadan with me and my family. She even fasted with us Alhamdulillah. 


That's why we were not able to start any campaign before today because I prioritised our time with my mother but even though we have only a few days left in Ramadan we had to get this campaign started as it means a lot to us "Bring Back Islam To The Youth".


We will go live in a few hours with this campaign in the meantime watched our interview on the link above with mainstream Turkish Media, Kapital 7.

Halis Media Participated To A Conference Against Islamophobia In Turkyie

As Salam Alaykoum!!!


Greetings From Turkyie. We hope you are having a great Ramadan. Inspired by our multiple interactions with the youth in Turkyie, we are currently working on our new campaign: "Bring Back Islam To The Youth". This campaign aims at distributing FREEDOM in format and platforms that are more appealing for the Youth. Will tell you more about it very soon. 


Last month, the Co Director of Freedom, Julien Drolon was invited as a panel speaker to discuss the problems and solutions to Islamophobia in the West at the Haci Bayram Veli University in Ankara. 


The Conference commemorated the 3 years anniversary of the massacre of 51 Brothers in a Mosque in Christchurch which happened on the 15th of March 2019. The Conference was moderated by Lauren Booth.

Urgent call for CHRISTCHURCH, NEVER AGAIN!

As Salam alaykoum wa rahmatoullah wa barakatouh.

Our dear dear worldwide supporters of the FREEDOM project,

This Ramadan, we've launched a very important campaign, CHRISTCHURCH, NEVER AGAIN. 


When we started this project, the film was initially screened amongst the Muslim communities majority of the time. Our recent tour in New Zealand was a realisation of the vision we've had making this film for non-Muslims. Within two days, we've managed to bring almost 200 non-Muslims to come and watch FREEDOM, by the blessings of Allah. What a great feeling it was talking about Allah and His Messenger to people who are so eager to find out! We've changed mindsets, we've cleared misconceptions even shahadahs Alhamdulillah. Read through the campaign to read our NZ tour story.

Still, there are so many out there dying everyday without knowing who their Creator is or thinking our beloved Prophet (s.a.w) was a wicked man, Na'udzubillah. For us, this is the real tragedy. So help us in this fight to eliminate ignorance. 

Also, this year, LaunchGood has a brilliant initiative for campaign makers. TODAY, MONDAY 20th MAY is the day we chose to compete in the LaunchGood Ramadan Challenge. The competition just started at 1pm Malaysia Time (GMT+8) and will last 24 hours. Refer attached poster. So, please take the time to donate the best amount you can NOW, before tomorrow at https://www.LAUNCHGOOD.com/NEVER-AGAIN

Hope to have you with us :)

With peace and love,

FREE Webinar with Former Anti Islam Politician: Arnoud Van Doorn

As Salam Alaykoum Wa Rahmatoullah Wa Barakatouh,

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam,

I hope that this message finds you well and that you will join our first "LAUNCHGOOD SPONSORS WEBINAR" this SATURDAY, 17TH MARCH on the software-based conference ZOOM. We have some exciting announcements and guests speakers scheduled for this first Webinar Alhamdulillah. SEE POSTER ATTACHED BELOW FOR DIFFERENT LIVE WORLD TIMINGS.

Perhaps it came to your attention that last month, another former far-right politician from the Netherlands Joram Van Kleveren, officialized his conversion to Islam in the media. (TRT Feature on Brother Joram: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGUjaYXMNe8.) In 2013, Arnoud Van Doorn was the first far-right politician from the Netherlands to embrace Islam. Brother Joram and Brother Arnoud were both members of the PVV, the Party For Freedom that is notorious for calling for the banning of the Quran and shutting down all mosques in the Netherlands among other attacks on Islam. (Recent Interview Of Brother Arnoud on RT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4f4Ir9qQH8).
 
With this in mind, we invited Brother Arnoud Van Doorn to Malaysia for our first "Sponsors Annual Luncheon" on the 16th of march in Malaysia to be our honourary guest speaker as we have a common interest to change the narrative on Islam and Freedom in the World. All of you have believed & supported us from all over the world and since you can't be in Malaysia with us, we are delighted to set up this webinar to give you the opportunity to hear from him and ask him all the questions you want as well. InshaAllah we will try to make this webinar as interactive as possible. Sheikh Ossama Al Azzouni from Palestine will also join us on this webinar. He has been active in da'wah with new Muslims for over 30 years and he is member of many Islamic organisations around the world such as in Egypt, Kenya, The Philippines, Spain and Canada.

Since the beginning of our operations in 2016, Halis Media has been involved in some pioneering and ground-breaking events and projects for the Ummah such as FREEDOM, the first documentary film featuring 50 converts from 25 countries, the first Halal Islamic Cruise in Banda Aceh, Indonesia or more recently, the First New Muslim World Conference in Manchester, UK.

With more than 1000 LaunchGood sponsors around the globe, we believe it is now time to connect with you to share our achievements and plans for the future. Since our last LaunchGood Campaign we screened Freedom in Spain, The Philippines and Scotland. We also started a University Tour and much more.

Please Register as soon as you read this email if you are interested to join this webinar because we can only host 100 participants therefore only 10% of our sponsors on LaunchGood will be able to attend. First come, first served basis.

Click on this link or the poster to register. Further instructions and password will be sent to you via email upon registration:
https://us04web.zoom.us/meeting/register/3f7743c13a6c134b66858a512be5123a
 
Hope to see you! Many thanks for your interest and continuous support in our mission.

As salam alaykoum wa rahmatoullah wa barakatouh LaunchGooders!

We would like to thank you for your wonderful support to help us achieve our goal to raise USD$8,000 in our recent Dhulhijjah campaign: Battle Islamophobia with FREEDOM. May Allah accept it from all us and may Allah recompense you all with goodness and beyond!

Moreover, last August 30th, we were honoured with an award from Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the Prime Minister of Malaysia for our volunteer work in the Da'wah field. We would like to dedicate this award to all our supporters from all over the world who believe in FREEDOM.

With this is mind, we should not forget that the path towards total freedom is still long and full of challenges as ignorance and injustice prevail in the world. 

This is just the beginning. We look forward to your continuous du'a and support towards our visionary mission, FREEDOM.
