“The anguished voices of the dead, the dying and those left behind might yet be heard – and justice may yet catch up with Sri Lanka’s war criminals.” – Callum Macrae

Carefully evidenced and powerfully measured, ‘No Fire Zone’ is a feature length film about the final awful months of the 26 year long Sri Lankan civil war told by the people who lived through it. It is a meticulous and chilling expose of some of the worst war crimes and crimes against humanity of recent times – told through the extraordinary personal stories of a small group of characters and also through some of the most dramatic and disturbing video evidence ever recorded.

Footage which is nothing less than direct evidence of war crimes, summary execution, torture and sexual violence.

This was supposed to be a war conducted in secret. The Government excluded the international press, forced the UN to leave the war zone and ruthlessly silenced the Sri Lankan media: literally dozens of media workers were killed, exiled or disappeared. While the world looked away in the first few months of 2009 around 40,000 to 70, 000 civilians were massacred – mostly by Sri Lankan government shelling – though the Tamil Tigers also stand accused of war crimes.

The theme of silence and secrecy continues in Malaysia. The Malaysian government intervened and attempted to stop the screening of this documentary in early July, arrested and continues to harass the organizers of this screening. We believe that the truth should not be silenced and this documentary will be screened once more on the 25th of July 2013.

Date:    25 July 2013

Venue: Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH)

Time:   8pm

Entry is free

  1. Cool stuff that you have shared with us. Actually movies are best for entertainment or releasing stress. To view the new, or, conversely, some old, classic movies, now do not need to buy expensive DVD-ROM or go to the cinema. It is enough to connect to the internet to find a site with a constantly updated database of movies that can be viewed online, and then save this resource to your favorites to ensure your home its own small cinema. Of course, no one would argue with that. What's in a movie theater watching movies more interesting and more pleasant, as there a special atmosphere, and the screen is larger. However, movies online is convenient and pleasant in its own way like this is the time and money savers as compared to offline cinema. http://www.movierulz.us best site for me with respect to movies. Anyways, thanks for your efforts.
