Don't Buy a Bomb - Documentary
Don't Buy a Bomb - war crimes in the court room, embarks on a gripping journey into the heart of one of the world's most devastating conflicts. Directed by Eva McQuade and produced & released by Demilitarise Education (dED_UCATION) in partnership with Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT), this groundbreaking documentary exposes the harsh realities of the war in Yemen, including the untold voices of civilians who have lost their lives amidst a flurry of international politics and arms sales. Join us as we delve into the intricate workings of a High Court of Justice appeal, the culmination of a six-year legal battle spearheaded by CAAT against the UK government's unjust arms sales to Saudi Arabia. Since the Saudi-led intervention in 2015, at least 154,000 Yemeni citizens have perished due to military action, with British-made weaponry playing a central role in the devastation. Through a mosaic of perspectives, "Don't Buy a Bomb" paints a vivid picture of the Yemen conflict. From legal experts Erin Alcock and Dearbhla Minogues, to the stirring activism of British-Yemeni poet Amina Atiq, the documentary captures the voices of those directly impacted by the crisis. But this film is more than just a chronicle of suffering – it's a call to action. Through meticulously curated archive footage and expert analysis, it confronts the uncomfortable truth that government complicity and profit-driven agendas fuel the flames of war. With contributions from Andrew Feinstein, Executive Director of Shadow World Investigations, the film uncovers the tangled web of arms deals and diplomatic relationships that perpetuate violence and human suffering. As the documentary unfolds, we are reminded of the urgent need for accountability and justice. "Don't Buy a Bomb" is a testament to the resilience of the Yemeni people and a rallying cry for change. It's time to unmask the truth, demand transparency, and put an end to the senseless violence in Yemen. Join us on this journey of discovery.
