From 1994 -2017 Yahya Jammeh ruled the Gambia, West Africa as his own fiefdom, crushing dissent, and opposition with brutality. With Jammeh’s ouster and flight into exile, hundreds of Gambians now feel safe to come forward and speak freely about the crimes committed against them by his regime. This is a work in progress…

 

Watch the trailer for: ‘We Never Gave Up – Stories of courage in Gambia‘ made for Amnesty International. The documentary tells the stories of human rights defenders fighting against former-President Jammeh’s oppressive state.
