'' No Fire Zone : In the Killing Fields of Sri Lanka '' is an investigative documentary about the final weeks of the Sri Lankan Civil War . The documentary covers the period from September 2008 until the end of the war in 2009 in which thousands of Tamil people were killed by shelling and extrajudicial executions by the Sri Lankan Army including Balachandran Prabhakaran , the 12-year-old son of the slain Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam ( LTTE ) Chief Velupillai Prabhakaran . The Sri Lankan army has denied the allegations in the documentary . However , on 21 October 2015 the BBC reported that Maxwell Paranagama , a government-appointed Sri Lankan judge , says allegations the army committed war crimes during the long conflict with Tamil Tiger rebels are " credible " . He went on to say there was evidence to suggest that footage obtained by the Channel 4 documentary '' No Fire Zone '' - showing prisoners naked , blindfolded , with arms tied and shot dead by soldiers - was genuine
