Mommy the Journalist
A pregnant woman deftly evaded the military council's pursuit while reporting in the midst of a revolution. Just 45 days after childbirth, she left home and sought refuge while continuing to deliver pivotal news to the public. Her story includes the challenging passage through a forest with her newborn and the arduous crossing of the Thaung Yin River. It emphasizes the importance of family safety and the unyielding pursuit of truth.
A Pair of Hand
One day, as I opened the door to my familiar home, an unexpected sight was in front of me. The room lay in ruins, and panic immediately overwhelmed me, urging me to flee. However, in that very moment, a pair of hands reached out to me, offering salvation－ This short animated film draws inspiration from the true experience of an individual who discovered hope amid the depths of despair during a coup d'état.
The Red
The Red, a woman detained by military intelligence, struggles to survive atrocities and sexual abuse under brutal interrogation after the military coup in Burma. The film tells the story of a woman enduring days of hell in detention. Despite the torture, the young woman continues to stand for the recovery of freedom, justice, and equality. This film won first prize in 2022 at the Film Competition for the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, sponsored by Freedom Film and Asia Justice and Rights.
