Padauk: Myanmar Spring takes the viewer on to the streets of Myanmar during the heady days following the February 2021 military coup.
Through Nant, a young, first-time protester, we meet three human rights activists whose lives have been turned upside down by the coup. As the protests continue, Nant comes to understand the truth of a brutal military that has continued to wage war against its own people for decades.
Against this foreboding backdrop, does Nant’s political awakening regarding the plight of others in her ethnically diverse country offer any hope for the future?
Enriched by poetry and art, Padauk: Myanmar Spring shows the resilience and determination of the people of Myanmar, and the sacrifices they've made.
