The film is presented by Jon Snow and contains damning footage, filmed by both victims and perpetrators, which suggests that war crimes were committed during the Sri Lankan conflict that ended in May 2009.

In April 2011 the UN published a report calling for a thorough and independent investigation into alleged war crimes committed during the Sri Lankan conflict. Amnesty International has repeatedly called for an independent inquiry into alleged human rights abuses committed by both sides, and will be urging the UK government to support such an investigation.
