This documentary tells a story of silent agony, trapped screams and repressed mourning. A story of women forced to deny their identity -- who are trapped in between a government which sees them as "Tigers," and a society whose norms they are no longer deemed worthy of.These women fought bravely alongside men as members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) during Sri Lanka's bloody thirty-year civil war. From protectors and defenders of their families, villages and nation, thousands of female ex-combatants have now returned home to assume more traditional roles as mothers, wives, widows, and teachers -- in communities where they are perpetually shunned. Through several powerful voices, "Haunted by Her Yesterdays" allows a few to share their pain and suffering -- the wounds that remain unhealed, the scars that are impossible to ignore and the hearts that still burn with pain, passion and grief -- for the world to hear. This film is a gripping tale of loss, betrayal and struggle, but --above all else -- it is a search for inspiration and a call for action. As the country's war-torn North and East struggles to rebuild itself, this documentary tells a deeply moving story that has been overlooked for far too long.to watch the documentary click on the link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSSv9Kk3tkIsource: Youtube
