"Shouting in the Dark" Film Captures Bahrain's Pro-Democracy Uprising Against US-Backed Rule
DemocracyNow.org - As Bahraini human rights activist Abdulhadi Alkhawaja is near death on the 58th day of a hunger strike protesting his imprisonment, we look at an award-winning documentary that tells the story of the uprising in Bahrain with extraordinary footage shot entirely undercover by Al Jazeera English reporters. It's called "Shouting in the Dark." We speak with the film's director, May Ying Welsh, the only Western journalist to stay throughout the violent government crackdown on demonstrators, as well as the doctors and nurses who treated them.
