An unforgettable story of shocking coincidence and incredible courage. A FIRE WITHIN. The Greatest Human Rights Story Never Told - three Women’s inspiring fight to bring an interrogator to justice in America.
We are honored to announce A Fire Within (@afirewithindoc ), directed by Christopher Chambers, as the winner of Best Documentary Feature at the 2nd Annual KITFO Film Festival.
The film tells the extraordinary true story of three Ethiopian women who survived brutal torture during The Red Terror, fled to the United States, and made a shocking discovery: their torturer was living freely in America - working beside one of them in Atlanta. With courage and conviction, they take a stand to bring him to justice.
Praised as “remarkably powerful” and “deeply moving,” A Fire Within has won Audience Awards at Atlanta, Naples, North Dakota Human Rights, and Twin Cities Film Festivals, along with a Georgia Film Critics nomination.
Congratulations to the filmmakers, cast, and crew.
Thank you to our sponsors for making this year’s festival possible.
