Channel 4 ” No Fire Zone ” Documentary released in New Delhi today.This explosive feature documentary exposing some of the worst war crimes of the 21st century will be launched around the world this spring.

No Fire Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka is expected to renew international controversy over the issue of accountability in Sri Lanka ahead of the UN Human Rights Council meeting in March 2013.

The film is the culmination of three years of journalistic investigation and contains deeply disturbing new evidence. It is a devastating indictment of the men responsible for the crimes and an exposé of the failure of the international community to prevent this catastrophe. It also addresses the culpability of the Tamil Tigers, themselves responsible for war crimes and for preventing civilians from escaping the carnage.

Carefully evidenced, the film uses eyewitness accounts, expert opinion, and translated mobile phone and camera footage from both the victims and the perpetrators of violence. This footage enables the filmmakers, in a way almost never done before, to piece together the day-to-day horror of this war.

Director Callum Macrae said: “This film isn’t an academic exercise in historical accountability. The men responsible for these crimes are still in charge. They are going to extraordinary lengths to deny those crimes ever happened.

“If there is no attempt to address these issues and to bring justice to those who suffered, then history is destined to repeat itself with yet more bloodshed. We hope our film will be part of that process of truth-telling.”

The Nobel Peace Prize-nominated team behind the documentary ‘Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields’ will release their first feature length film about the final bloody months of the Sri Lankan Civil war in March.

This WorldView-supported film, which has been backed by Channel 4, BRITDOC, The Bertha Foundation, The Pulitzer Center and Stichting Democratie en Media, as well as NGOs including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch will be launched at the Geneva Human Rights Film Festival in March 2013.
