Be a Part of Clarion Project's New Film and Get Your Name in the Credits

Through personal accounts, interviews and media, Destroying Legacies (working title) will focus on the unique cultural heritage of various minority communities such as Christians, Baha’i, Yazidis, Jews, and minority Muslims, and it will seek to raise the alarm about the persecution and intolerance they endure as a result of extremism.

In the cradle of civilization, entire communities and cultures are at risk of being destroyed. Without diversity and tolerance in this critical region, extremism will prevail.

Now is your chance to get involved with Clarion Project's new film from the beginning. Help shape the film by suggesting a film title. If we use your title, we will add your name to the end credits of the film.
