This documentary deals with student protests in Myanmar that arose after the transition to democracy from Thein Sein’s government. The Burmese national education bill, enacted in September 2014, brought about protests from students who thought it would infringe upon academic freedom. The government made amendments to the bill, yet in 2015, student protests intensified. Subsequent harsh police crackdowns were denounced by the West. This became an indirect point of rally for students galvanizing them and enhancing their cause. The documentary presents actual film footage from that time, introduces the activist students, concerned teachers and those who sympathized with them as well as interviews with special educational advisers and retrospect discussions. It is a labor of love that tries to portray a series of events in their actuality and totality. It also closes in on the truth and is a work that objectively records events and stays true to its intents. The closing scene presents us with actual footage of the excessive crackdown of the police, a symbolic summary of the overthrown military junta. In that sense, this documentary carries an unequivocal political message.
