Thabyay: Creative resistance in Myanmar [Documentary film screening]

Some take up arms while struggling to stay true to their commitment to non-violence, while others engage in “artivism,” using music, poetry and art to bring about a peaceful, free, democratic and truly inclusive future for all people in Myanmar.

What happens when non-violent leaders are pushed to support armed struggle against a brutal regime in a forgotten war?

The screening will explore this question through four leaders of the people-power revolution currently underway in Myanmar/Burma. The film illustrates the challenges faced by these individuals and their compatriots, and how art and music remain potent tools in their country's revolution.

‍Susanna Hla Hla Soe, NUG minister of women, youth and children affairs by Zoom.
