Verses of Bahrain and the Revolution Poet

The following is a nine-minute documentary about Ayat al-Qurmuzi, a poet who was detained during the Bahraini uprising. The short film was produced as part of the Solidarity Campaign with Female Prisoners of Conscience in Bahrain. Despite official statements that the state of emergency will be lifted as of June 1, 2011, Bahrain citizens continue to be brutalized through a combination of detentions, arrests, torture, and political trials.
