Featured reviews
This film is a heartwrenching work about an often-forgotten conflict: Sri Lanka. It captivatingly portrays the horrific violence inflicted by the Sri Lankan government against Tamils on the island. War crimes and crimes against humanity that Sri Lanka is attempting to white-wash are uncovered through expert journalism.
It is told from the perspective of victims, with analysis from international human rights experts. The historical context for Sri Lanka's decades of violence is also explored.
It is a powerful, objective work of journalism and has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. I encourage the world to watch this film, and never forget.

This Authentic documentary depicts the war crimes and the genocide of one of the oldest ethnic national Tamils. It's an perfectly compiled evidence of War crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Sri Lankan army during Jan - May 2009 which includes inhuman activities like, brutal killings, rape, forced disappearances carried out by the srilankan army in the name of war.
Srilanka is receiving condemnation from all over the world and from the leaders and countries which supported him in the war. This video shows just a glimpse of the massacre unleashed by the srilankan government headed by rajapakshe. Just because the govt. denies that there is no such killings committed by the army men, the truth cannot be buried.
Many of the videos released by channel 4 are not shot by them but were made by the army men themselves using their mobile cameras. Channel 4 just paid to get the video or the army person was guilty of his act. If the srilankan govt alleges that they are fake, then they should technically prove that they were not real and can file a petition against channel 4.
I urge all the people in the wold who has a bit of humanity in heart to just view this once and make your own judgment about whether it is fake or not. We thank Channel 4 of this video inspite of all hinderences from the SriLankan regime

No Fire Zone presents itself as a documentary, but feels more like a dramatized fantasy rather than a well-researched, balanced account of Sri Lanka's civil conflict. It simplifies a deeply complex situation into a misleading narrative, overlooking the fact that the war was not a Sinhala vs Tamil conflict, but a struggle between the people and the LTTE-a violent, separatist group. Those who lived through the war understand that this wasn't about race or religion. Sadly, this film seems crafted with a different agenda, using sensitive themes like language, identity, and nationality to frame a skewed story for international sympathy. A more honest, inclusive portrayal could have made a real impact.
This is a film that pulls no punches. Watching these innocent people killed in the cover of "Killing the terrorists" is haunting and horrifying because it is based on events that actually happen. These people trying to stay alive from day to day is a sobering viewing experience. Glad that CH4 was able to bring this atrocities committed by this cowardly regime to light. Hope these voiceless people will get justice someday.
Some of the young men and women were blind folded, hands tied and then executed. These are inhuman instincts.People are killed anywhere and everywhere without respite and their corpses abandoned without proper burial or funeral. Singala army's motto when it comes to human life - "Kill'em all"

This is the honest story of what happened in Sri Lanka. It tragic that still perpetrators are at large and no justice delivered.
