Bahrain: Shouting in the dark - Programmes - Al Jazeera English
This is one of the most powerful documentaries I have watched. The story of the Bahrain uprising and the fight for freedom was almost lost in the Arab spring. However Aljazeera stayed there and covered it all producing this master piece.
This docu shows the extent to which man would fight for his freedom, while those in power would kill to prevent it. The protests began, and regardless of the fierce opposition by the government, the people of Bahrain continued their protests. No one came to their aid, Like Aljazeera puts it, "this is the Arab revolution that was abandoned by the Arabs, forsaken by the West and forgotten by the world".
This documentary is an exposition on what really happened in Bahrain, as it began on February 14, 2012. A year later the people celebrated the 1st year anniversary of the protest, but as usual ended in tear gas and gun shot responses by their government.
As I watched I kept having goose bumps. I could not believe I was watching a real footage, it seemed like something I would see in a war film.
This 50 minute clip is mind blowing and I recommend a must watch for Journalists, Documentary Filmmakers, Freedom Fighters... infact everyone.
