In Myanmar, a multi-ethnic nation, deep-rooted discrimination based on religion and ethnicity persists. The Myanmar military, which staged the coup, has exploited these hidden prejudices within people's hearts to divide the population. Even within the resistance forces opposing the dictatorship, such discrimination remains deeply entrenched. These interviews shed light on the challenges that must be overcome to restore a peaceful Myanmar.
