A Fire Within - Screening & Q&A
New York Premiere
After suffering through the Red Terror, a dark time in Ethiopia's history during which many educated young people were tortured and murdered, Edgegayehu "Edge" Taye fled to the United States in 1989 as a refugee. Settling in Atlanta, she found work at a hotel, only to discover that the very man who was responsible for her torture in Ethiopia was also working there. Along with several friends who were victims of the same man and are now all living in the U.S., Taye embarks on a landmark human rights case to bring their tormentor to trial. Executive produced by Ethiopian actress and activist Liya Kebede, this incredible and chilling true crime documentary shines a light on a painful time in Ethiopia's history and reveals the healing power of restorative justice.
