Through personal stories and some of the most dramatic and disturbing video ever recorded, No Fire Zone exposes some of the worst crimes of recent times. In early 2009, 40-70,000 civilians were massacred.

The brutal repression and ethnic restructuring of the Tamil homelands in the north of Sri Lanka continues. That’s why we hope this film will serve as an international call for action.

We need to make a political choice to believe survivors of violence.’

Gendered violence is a key way in which women’s oppression is maintained in our patriarchal society. In Australia, 1 in 5 women and 1 in 20 men over the age of 15 have experienced sexual violence since the age of 15 years. Violence perpetrated by men is the leading cause of preventable death, disability and illness in women aged 15-44. Aboriginal women, poor women, women of differing abilities, and sex and gender diverse people are significantly more likely to experience sexual violence.

This year marks the 66th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe), when, in 1948, more than 780,000 Palestinians (over half of the population) were ethnically cleansed from their homeland. More than 500 Palestinian villages were depopulated and destroyed.

This catastrophe continues to this day, with the ongoing air raids and siege of Gaza, the ever encroaching settlements in the West Bank and the daily humiliations meted out by an Israeli government intent on the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.
