Vanni is a graphic novel focusing on the conflict between the Sri Lankan government and the 'Tamil Tigers', from the perspective of a single family. Inspired by Dix's experience of working in Sri Lanka for the UN during the war, Vanni draws upon over four years of meticulous research, first-hand interviews, official reports, and cross-referencing with experts in the field. Elegantly drawn by Lindsay Pollock, Vanni takes readers through the otherwise unimaginable struggles, horrors and life-changing decisions families and individuals are forced to make when caught in conflict.
