NEELAN: UNSILENCED is a non-profit educational documentary that resurrects the voice and vision of Dr. Neelan Tiruchelvam, a distinguished Sri Lankan Tamil academic, constitutional lawyer, and politician whose life was tragically cut short by a suicide bombing carried out by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a militant separatist group on July 29, 1999. Through intimate interviews with family members, renowned academics, politicians, civil society members, and journalists—many of whom knew him personally—this documentary serves as both biography and testimony, allowing Neelan to speak once again through archival footage and through the memories of those who witnessed his remarkable journey.
