Sri Lanka: Understanding the Past, Finding its Future

Sri Lanka’s recent history has been dominated by a long civil war. With a ceasefire in effect, the focus now is on reconciliation. Documentary filmmaker Jude Ratnam has created Demons in Paradise, the result of ten years of work, which unearths the bitter truth about Sri Lanka’s war from an insider’s point of view. He discusses the complexities of the conflict with Talat Ahmed and Kanchana Ruwanpura from the University of Edinburgh.

Watch Ratnam's film, Demons in Paradise, ahead of the event for free on Sunday 12 August, 15:00-17:00 at Appleton Tower, Lecture Theatre 2, University of Edinburgh.
