Director/Producer Jen Marlowe will be leading the discussion at the Q&A after the film.
Sponsored by The Ridgefield Press
The award-winning documentary Witness Bahrain, directed and produced by Jen Marlowe, is a piercing look into Bahrain two years after the Arab Spring, and documents a reality that is as relevant and under-covered by media today as when filmmaker Jen Marlowe was shooting the film. The film uncovers stories of doctors arrested and tortured for treating wounded protesters, nurses caring for injured youth at underground clinics, and children who were killed or arrested by riot police. Marlowe also filmed while hiding upstairs in the home of prominent human rights defender Nabeel Rajab as the police came to take him to prison because of Tweets he sent that the regime objected to. After being released after his initial incarceration, Rajab was re-arrested again for his online Tweets.
