This Land Belongs to the Army is a 2014 documentary film by Maga.Tamizh Prabhagaran, a young journalist and film maker. This film exposes the genocidal war waged by the Sri Lankan Army and shows for the first time, the current uncensored reality in post war Sri Lanka. It also exposes the Sri Lankan government's policy of Sinhalisation and land occupation by the brutal Sri Lankan army.

The film also features new testimonies from Tamil genocide victims and an exclusive interview with a SriLankan Army personnel, who confesses to the indiscriminate use of chemical and heavy weapons against the Tamil population. The SriLankan government repeatedly claims that peace and freedom was brought to the Tamils after it's military conquest. However, it's army of occupation rules the North-East with an iron grip and prevents free media access. The film maker himself was illegally detained by the SriLankan State Forces under the charges of 'terrorism' for simply taking photograph. Despite these dangerous risks to his life, the film was made.
