Sri Lanka

In the predominantly Buddhist country of Sri Lanka, filmmakers have examined the 26 years of civil war between the Sinhala majority and Tamil minority, and the continuing struggle for an independent Tamil state. Suspended in a state of being simultaneously without war and without peace, filmmakers search for ways to reconcile history, religious myth and political rhetoric attempts to reconcile the history, religious myth and political rhetoric which have brought both Tamil and Sinhalese nationalist discourse into being.
