Lanka: The Other Side of War and Peace (2005)

Lanka: The Other Side of War and Peace (75 min)
Sri Lanka, 2005, Directecd by Iffat Fatima

In February 2002, after more than 20 years of fighting, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and the government of Sri Lanka signed a ceasefire agreement. Soon after that the A9 highway that links north and south Sri Lanka was opened to civilian traffic after twelve years. Structured like a travelogue, the film traverses the northern and southern landscape of Sri Lanka. As it shifts between north and south, it spans the history of last three decades of violence in Sri Lanka.
