Exemplar tells the story of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, a renowned promoter of social justice and an ambassador for international peace. The film shares aspects of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s life and the profound effect He had on people both past and present. A sense of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s unique function as a shelter, a shield, and a stronghold for all humanity is captured in vignettes of some of the people whose lives were transformed through their association with Him.
A moderated Q&A will follow each screening by Jeff Mahoney of the Hamilton Spectator with the film’s director, Mary Darling, and Bob Watts, whose family had a direct encounter with ‘Abdu’l-Baha—Bob will speak about how that interaction changed his life.
