Ray of Hope (2024)

A 26-year armed conflict in Sri Lanka forced numerous Eelam Tamils to seek refuge in many foreign nations - particularly 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 5 year old child. The anguish and tales of the conflict drove Rathika's passion for advocacy. In 2013 she decided to revisit her past. Her visit to Sri Lanka rekindled her own traumatic memories, as she was surveilled and followed by the very government responsible for the widespread suffering.
