When The Skies Wept Blood

On the Tenth Day, of the First Month
of the Islamic calendar, in the year
61; on the hot desert plains of
Karbala, a small group of 73 noble
individuals were massacred by an
army of 70,000 men. The victims were devout followers of
the religion of Islam.
The perpetrators, led by Yazeed, son
of Mu'awiyah, claimed to follow that
very same religion. It was a day
'When Skies Wept Blood'. The sacrifice of Karbala is unrivalled
from the dawn of time, yet the
martyrdom of Hussain and his exalted
72 companions is neglected by the
majority of Muslims and non muslims,
alike. Imam Hussain sought to bring justice
through this great sacrifice. He did
not revive the religion of Islam, he
re surrected it.
Red tears brings you a historical
documentary looking at the chain of events from the death of the Holy
Prophet, Muhammad, to the tragic
massacre of Karbala.
