Tears In Paradise (2019)
"Tears In Paradise" is a poignant documentary film directed by Sri Lankan filmmaker Dharmasiri Bandaranayake, a follow-up to the docu-film 'In Search Of Paradise', which he also directed. Continuing its exploration of Sri Lanka’s socio-political landscape, the film delves deeper into the human cost of conflict, displacement, and the enduring search for identity and belonging. Through intimate narratives and reflective storytelling, Tears In Paradise captures the emotional aftermath of a fractured past while questioning the meaning of paradise in a land marked by both beauty and struggle.
