The Shattered pearl / South Productions for Channel Four in association with

c1991.
Modern Sri Lanka has become the battleground for a civil war
waged by Tamil, Sinhala, and Muslim groups. This conflict led
to the kidnap and murder in 1990 of Richard De Zoysa, a
liberal journalist who reported on human rights abuses. The
notoriety surrounding De Zoysa's killing meant world attention
for Sri Lanka, and the women's groups which came together to
offer support to the victims of violence. This film focuses on
the war, the human rights abuses, and the women who continue
to struggle for justice and peace.

China work for some of the lowest wages in the world producing
