Exemplar (2021)

One hundred years ago, 'Abdu'l-Bahá, the son of Bahá'u'lláh and the perfect example of His teachings, passed from this world. Exemplar follows the life of 'Abdu'l-Bahá 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, a stronghold for all humanity is captured in vignettes of some of the souls whose lives were transformed for the betterment of society through their association with Him. The film reflects a few of the universal principles embodied, both in word and deed, by 'Abdu'l-Bahá-principles that animate a global movement of individuals, communities and institutions striving to emulate His example in service to humanity.
