RAY OF HOPE
SPEAKING WITH THE ANCESTORS (Richard E. Haywood)
RAY OF HOPE (Ryan Singh, Nikila Cole)
About Ray of Hope: The 26-year armed conflict in Sri Lanka compelled numerous Eelam Tamils to seek refuge in foreign nations, notably in Canada. Among them is Rathika Sitsabaiesan, a former Canadian Member of Parliament, who fled the armed conflict in Sri Lanka with her Tamil family as a five-year-old child. The anguish and tales of the conflict drove Rathika's advocacy. In 2013, her visit to Sri Lanka rekindled her own traumatic memories, as she was surveilled by the very government accountable for widespread suffering.
Preceded by the short documentary, SPEAKING WITH THE ANCESTORS.
Filmmakers in attendance for Q&A.
