For almost thirty years between 1983 and 2009, Sri Lanka was torn apart by Civil War. Suicide bombings were a part of daily life in the cities, and in the north, an escalating cycle of killings and terror. This video tells the story of the Sri Lankan Civil War and looks at the effects on civilians, both Tamils and Sinhalese.
