The brutal military coup of February 1st of 2021 destroyed ten years of fragile democratic transition in the Myanmar and has killed and imprisoned thousands. The anonymous writers in this film seek inspiration from San Zaw Htway’s all too brief life to come to terms with the cruelty of this military regime. For he overcame 13 years of prison with wisdom, resilience and grace. Filmed by Burmese cinematographer Bo Thet Htun, who followed the army's take-over in the months after the coup this year, and by Petr Lom, who filmed together with San Zaw Htway over a period of four years. 'Many of the soldiers are so young, like children. Their families are kept in the barracks to stop them deserting’, writes a friend of San Zaw Htway. The protests continue against the military takeover: 'our symbol is the three finger salute, we took it from The Hunger Games. To trend online, we use gimmicks’, says an activist. ‘Yesterday, five young activists were chased by the military to the roof of a building and were surrounded. Rather than surrendering, they jumped to their deaths’, says another.
