AUNG SAN SUU KYI, FREEDOM AS LEGACY

The mother of the burmese nation

This film goes back into the history of Aung San Suu Kyi whose exceptional destiny has inspired the Burmese people. She has devoted her life to guiding her nation to democracy and, after having been assigned to residence for 20 years by the military junta, she is today rediscovering her country.

Through the daily lives of 3 young Burmese close to her, this film shows the influence the Nobel Peace prize winner has on youth at large. They dare now speak out and defy those in power. Without this model of selflessness and fortitude they undoubtedly would never have had the courage to go the whole way.
