The Sri Lankan military has dismissed the No Fire Zone documentary, as “rubbish”, in response to the International Emmy Awards nomination the documentary received earlier this week.
Spokesperson, Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasuriya said the movie, directed by Callum Macrae was 'nothing but a sensational piece of falsehood,' Ceylon Today reported.
"I am not an artiste to view his piece of 'art' but all what is can say it's a piece of rubbish work and he is nominated for it with a vested interest,
"We requested on several occasions to come forward even before the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) to produce the original footage to counter his footage but he refused to do so. Even now we have the Missing Persons Commission sitting. There too he can produce it as evidence material. Why can't he?" the brigadier asked.
"Macrae is doing his rounds screening the documentary so tirelessly globally now and he has landed himself an Emmy nomination now and we are not surprised."
