\"Beena<\/p>\n

Beena Sarwar produced this 25-minute documentary about Sri Lanka in English last year, which was supported by the Pulitzer Center in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shooted in a remote village (Dutuwewa) as well as in Colombo, the film provides a multi-layered narrative about the universal challenges of governance, accountability and enduring hopes for democratic aspirations. It is relevant not only to Sri Lanka but also to anywhere where people are struggling to defend democracy and accountability, including India, Bangladesh and the United States.<\/span>
\nThe film was screened in several countries, including Sri Lanka, Pakistan and the United States, ahead of Sri Lanka\u2019s recent presidential election. Its critical success is evident from screenings across five continents, in nearly 20 countries and at nearly 80 venues. Positive media reviews from The Wire in India to Dawn in Pakistan further confirms that success<\/span><\/p>\n
