Bahrain: 3-Week NGO Workshop – Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI)
Literacy Is Light (English)
A Film By: Khadija Alasafarah, Sabah Ahmed Ali
About The Film
This 60-second PSA created by Al-Reef Young Lady Society (RYLS), begins with the image of a woman walking towards a window and reaching for the light. She is next pictured walking through a desert landscape; her ghostly image appears and disappears right before and after she enters and exits the frame. She is then pictured praying with her hands turned to the sky and the light of the sun behind her face. The final scene depicts the woman walking down a road, appearing and disappearing right before she enters and exits the frame. She comes across a book in the middle of the road and picks it up. As she opens the book, she smiles and the slogan, “Literacy Is Light” appears onscreen. Text appears onscreen: “Fatat Al Reef society was the first society to fight against illiteracy by opening classes in Jid-hafs in 1972.” The PSA is meant to encourage literacy as a virtuous activity, consistent with the religious values of the women that the PSA targets.
