In this moving, sometimes upsetting, sometimes humbling doc, five democracy activists in Libya, Syria, and seldom-reported-from Bahrain, tell their stories. In face of regime violence, their quietly stated, clear-sighted commitment and courage are striking, not least that of Bahraini sisters Maryam and Zainab Al-Khawaja.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
