Burma Displaced
Burma's military leaders are content with their international isolation. It allows them to do what they want without paying attention to Human Rights. "Burma Displaced" is looking for people who were able to flee Burma. They live as illegal workers in neighbouring countries, in refugee camps in Bangladesh, as a tourist attraction in Thailand and lonely in the Swiss mountains. Burma only lives in their memories. We meet the Rap Group "Myanmar Future Generation" who sings about Burma's horrible history. The film shows destroyed villages and fleeing people. Their common hope: a better life and free Burma.
