-the former government official from Myanmar in exile-
Gigi, whose husband is a civil servant, had a peaceful life in her home country. Life had completely changed forever after the military coup in 2021. Her husband joined the CDM (Disobedience Movement) and fought against the military dictatorship. One day, plain-clothed police visited their home, and the family, sensing danger, left Myanmar to Thailand. What awaited them there was unfair treatment from the Thai police.
As I first tuned into this song, its message resonated strongly about justice for the people of Burma/Myanmar. It unequivocally stands as an anthem expressing deep appreciation for the dedicated people's defense soldiers who valiantly stand on the front lines, fighting for the establishment of a federal democratic union and the pursuit of equality and justice.

The short film "Mommy The Journalist" recounts the story of a woman who, while pregnant, deftly evaded the military council's pursuit during her reporting in the midst of a revolution. She steadfastly wielded her journalistic pen throughout the revolution until the moment she gave birth. The film portrays the journey of a female journalist who, just 45 days after childbirth, left her home, seeking refuge in a foreign country while continuing to deliver pivotal revolutionary news to the public. It depicts her challenging passage through a forest with her day-old child and the arduous crossing of the Thaung Yin River. "Mommy The Journalist" is a narrative that emphasizes the importance of family safety and the unyielding pursuit of truth.

In the wee hours of 1 February 2021, Myanmar’s military staged a coup against the democratic elected government and arbitrarily detained senior government officials, including the head of government, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi. This shocked Myanmar's citizens and plunged them into despair. Citizens then began a large scale of protests.
