The stories behind Sri Lanka's war enquiry commission

The stories behind Sri Lanka's war enquiry commission and the man who says his best friends are lions.

SRI LANKA
Thusanthi Weerasinghe lost twenty five members of her family in the Sri Lankan civil war. Kasippillai Manoharan lost his son and was forced to flee the country. The government's Commission on Lessons Learned and Reconciliation will finish next month but many fear the voices of the victims will not be heard. 

LION MAN
Tony Fitzjohn has devoted the past forty years to reintroducing lions into the wild. He loves the animals and describes them as his friends - even after one tried to kill him.
