Does
majority always have to win, and minority lose?
When someone is different than the most of their people in the
community--different in their nation, or how they look, or their
belief system, or not as healthy as others--are they considered
imperfect, or more, a sinner?
Tolerance and acceptance.
World
Anti-Discrimination Awards aimed to promote tolerance amongst
many differences in small and global society, to raise
acceptance, and ultimately to bring peace and harmony to our
heterogenic global world.
We are
looking for exceptional people, warriors for humanity, and
filmmaker who fight for tolerance; or filming about a man or a
woman who symbolize the fight for tolerance.
World
Anti-Discrimination Awards is part of a big festival group, the
International Film Festivals. Working closely with the Council
of Creative People (Dewan Kreatif Rakyat) and International
i-Hebat Volunteers, the Festival would give international
recognition for a man or a woman who fights for tolerance and
acceptance amongst diversity. He or she could be anyone with any
background, any profession, or from all age.
Winning
person profile will become our showcase based on their CVs.
The
Festival Group prominent past winners include President Jimmy
Carter, John Pope II, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Adolfo Pérez
Esquivel, and many Hollywood stars: Alice Krige, Robin Shou,
