This is a film about freedom of speech...& the price some are willing to pay for it. Told as personal encounters of exiled journalists from Sri Lanka, the film explores how some have been threatened, some interrogated and some even killed in Sri Lanka for challenging the Government through exposing war crimes, human rights abuses and corruption.
With scores of journalists forced to flee Sri Lanka, the civil society there today is traumatised into silence and the media is forced to self-censor.
This movie explores the climate in which a few brave people, such as those profiled in the film, continue to attempt to campaign for the truth.
