My Daughter the Terrorist (2007)
An inside look at the HUMAN side of a guerrilla force
Disclaimer: I don't believe in suicide but this documentary enabled me to understand the 'inside' of this guerrilla force. I'd say the award-winning director Beate Arnested is brave to have gone inside to interview the rebels.
This was shown on US PBS station, United Nations Film Festival, Frontline of London etc. I heard that the PREVIOUS Sri lankan govt. had a group of IT people to do false propaganda on Wikipedia, Youtube etc.
Here's excerpt from UN Assn. Film festival:
This fascinating documentary is an exceedingly rare, inside look at an organization that most of the world has blacklisted as a terrorist group. Made by the first foreign film crew to be given access to the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) of Sri Lanka, the film offers insights into the recently re-ignited conflict in Sri Lanka. Twenty- four-year-olds Dharsika and Puhalchudar have been living and fighting side-by-side for seven years as part of LTTE's elite force, the Black Tigers. Their story is told through cinema verité footage, newsreel footage, and interviews with the women and Dharsika's mother. The women describe heartbreaking traumas they both experienced at the hands of the Sri Lankan army, which led them to join the guerrilla forces. ---------
This Land Belongs to the Army (2014)
Journalist took Documentary in spite of threat to life!
I have watched the Award winning British Channel4 Killing Fields video documentary and later the feature film #NoFireZone.
This documentary "This Land Belongs to the Army" taken in spite of this Brave Journalist Thamizh Prabhagaran's risk to life is well worth it! It shows first-hand testimony from victims. What is shocking it shows Sri Lankan soldier admitting openly to using CHEMICAL weapons to attack the #NoFireZone, an agreed upon Zone.
Apparently it was released in British Parliament and screened in United Nations.
Finally, this is a MUST SEE documentary and I hope this documentary comes out on Netflix and or on AmazonTV soon!
Silenced Voices (2012)
documentary shows brave journalism in spite of life theats!
Sri Lanka may not be Syria, Libya, or Egypt, to get the Media attention on the lack of Media Freedom, due to GoSL clever strategies. Nevertheless this documentary by Norwegian Director Beate Arnestead, got selected in Film festivals and reveals brave journalism. This film with other factors raises several questions...
The Sinhalese Journalist Lasantha Wickramatunga, wrote in editorial before he was killed by the Govt. 'Then they came for me'
Fortunately the exiled Journalists from this movie have a site
Also Media freedom is addressed in the Award-winning British Channel 4 documentary: Sri Lanka Killing Fields
