(LONDON) - A new YouTube video program tells the story of the Sri Lankan Tamil Genocide for English speaking audiences. It is a significant program that compliments the Channel 4 documentaries, 'Sri Lanka's Killing Fields', which changed the world's perception of this epic period of ethnic cleansing.

It isn't every day that we see such a well thought and highly produced program telling the story of the Tamil tragedy on the island nation of Sri Lanka. They say 20,000 people died in just one area in the country's north as the army moved on civilian targets.

The documentary according to it introduction, is dedicated to those who were killed during the wars all over the world.

Third Eye Creations produced the program and it is presented by Robert Reind.

I had no idea we would see the late Marie Colvin, absolutely one of the world's best and most fair reporters, talking about her time in Sri Lanka, she was killed several months ago covering the conflict in Libya. Her last years were spent wearing an eye patch; she had been attacked as a reporter working in Sri Lanka, by government forces.

Special thanks to Rajanayagam of Germany and others who were involved in helping get this incredible program out to the world.
