Intro:


We open with an aerial shot of the lush jungles of Sri Lanka. Cut to a montage of news footage of the Sri Lankan civil war, with an emphasis on the role of the Tamil Tigers and their leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran.


Voice Over (V.O.):







"The Sri Lankan Civil War lasted for 26 years, from 1983 to 2009, and claimed the lives of over 100,000 people. At the center of the conflict was the rebel group known as the Tamil Tigers, led by their charismatic and controversial leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran."


Act I: The Rise of Prabhakaran


Cut to a series of interviews with former Tamil Tigers and experts on Sri Lankan history and politics.


Interviewee 1:


"Prabhakaran was a charismatic leader who inspired devotion among his followers. He was a man of few words but his actions spoke louder than words."


Interviewee 2:


"He was a visionary, a man ahead of his time. He saw the need for a separate state for Tamils in Sri Lanka and was willing to fight for it."


Interviewee 3:


"He was a master strategist who outwitted the Sri Lankan military time and time again. He built a powerful and well-disciplined army that was feared by many."


Cut to a montage of Prabhakaran addressing his followers, leading military campaigns, and making speeches.


V.O.:


"Under Prabhakaran's leadership, the Tamil Tigers became one of the most feared and effective rebel groups in the world. They carried out a campaign of suicide bombings, assassinations, and other forms of violence, and were responsible for some of the bloodiest attacks in Sri Lankan history."


Act II: The Fall of Prabhakaran


Cut to a series of interviews with Sri Lankan military officials, experts on the Sri Lankan civil war, and eyewitnesses to the final days of the conflict.


Interviewee 4:


"Prabhakaran was his own worst enemy. His stubborn refusal to compromise, his insistence on fighting to the last man, ultimately doomed his cause."


Interviewee 5:


"The Sri Lankan military was finally able to neutralize the Tamil Tigers and their leader. They surrounded the rebels in a small pocket of land in the northeast of the country and, after a brutal and bloody battle, they captured Prabhakaran and killed him."

V.O.:


"The fall of Velupillai Prabhakaran marked the end of the Sri Lankan civil war and the Tamil Tigers.

His legacy continues to shape the country to this day."


Act III: Legacy and Controversy

Interviewee 6:


"Prabhakaran's legacy is a mixed one. On one hand, he was a leader who inspired devotion among his followers and fought for the rights of Tamils in Sri Lanka. On the other hand, his tactics were brutal and resulted in the deaths of countless innocent people."


Interviewee 7:


"The controversy surrounding Prabhakaran is not limited to Sri Lanka. The Tamil Tigers were proscribed as a terrorist organization by many countries, including the United States, India, and the United Kingdom."

"For others, Prabhakaran represents a dark chapter in Sri Lanka's history, one marked by violence and bloodshed. Regardless of how we feel about him, the fact remains that he was a major figure in Sri Lanka's recent history, and his impact will be felt for generations to come."
