Witness Bahrain (2014)

Witness Bahrain is a piercing look inside Bahrain, two years after the start of Bahrain's uprising. The film follows an activist as she travels all over Bahrain, uncovering stories of Bahrainis, including doctors arrested and tortured under trumped up charges, nurses treating injured protestors at underground clinics, the family of a boy killed by riot police, and the arrest of human rights defender Nabeel Rajab. Scores of ordinary Bahrainis are also captured: women explaining why they protest, people praying on the remains of their demolished mosques, and youth clashing daily with riot police. Filmmaker Jen Marlowe entered the country under false pretenses and filmed clandestinely before being deported. The result is a documentary cut from guerilla style footage, capturing an intimate portrayal of Bahrain's uprising.
