In partnership with the Trudeau Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, Canadian Centre for International Justice's Toronto Working Group is hosting a screening of this award winning film that tells the story of the Arab revolution that was abandoned by the Arabs, forsaken by the West and forgotten by the world. The film won the Award for Best International Television and the Grand Prize at the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards, the Amnesty International Media Award, a Gold Nymphe (Nymphe d'Or) for Best Documentary at the Montecarlo Television Festival, the Foreign Press Association Documentary of the Year award in London, the George Polk Award for Excellence in Journalism and the Scripps Howard Jack R. Howard Award for Television Reporting.
A panel discussion will follow featuring:
• Abdullah Abuidrees, Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights (streamed in from Bahrain)
• Yusur Al Bahrani, Director at Large, Amnesty International and a human rights activist who has worked on the issue
• One other panelist, to be announced.
