DISAPPEARED:
Logline:
Disappeared is a short film exploring the human emotions of sudden and unexpected loss resulting from challenging the powers that be, of being forced to flee to protect your life and the lives of those close to you.
Synopsis:
What happens when you are determined to expose what is actually going on in the world you live in? Nettavathy De Sozya Vanniasingam is an underground chat show host based in Sri Lanka. She interviews activists and people who speak out against what is going on in her country. Her final interview is with a politician.
Disappeared is about a moment that changes everything in one person's life because they weren’t afraid to speak out, to speak truth to power, to risk everything and everyone because they had ‘to do the right thing’. But what does that mean to them in the end? Did they realise the consequences?
