Now it is possible for anyone to watch No Fire Zone as a paid-for streamed video, for licensing reasons this is Initially just available in the UK, but it will be rolled out worldwide over the next few weeks<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>No Fire Zone is the definitive story of the final awful months of the 26-year long Sri Lankan civil war told by the people who lived through it. A chilling expose of some of the worst war crimes and crimes against humanity of recent time.<\/p>\n

The film also addresses the culpability of the Tamil Tigers, themselves responsible for committing war crimes and for preventing civilians from trying to escape the carnage. Since 2009 there has been no independent judicial investigation into what happened and the Government of Sri Lanka continues to say the video evidence of war crimes is faked. A UN Panel of Experts reported to Ban Ki Moon that as many as 40,000 civilians may have died during the first few months of 2009 \u2013 mostly as a result of government shelling. A more recent internal UN review concluded the figure could be higher – 70,000 or even more.<\/p>\n

No Fire Zone also brings this story up to date. This is still a live story \u2013 the brutal repression and ethnic restructuring of the Tamil homelands in the north of Sri Lanka continues \u2013 journalists and government critics are still disappearing.<\/p>\n
