FILM SYNOPSIS
Following Myanmar’s military coup in 2021, locals resist and negotiate life in a regime of terror.
Following the Burmese military junta’s coup in February 2021, civilians are plunged into a reality where state-sponsored violence is rife. Comprising footage recorded by locals telling of their lived experiences, this hybrid documentary is an account of the emotions post-coup for the ordinary Burmese: alienation, frustration, despair, shattered hopes and betrayal.
Yet the diverse ways in which civilians resist the junta—through mass protests, civil disobedience, local organising and even the formation of anti- junta self-defence militias—show their creative forms of agency. Myanmar Diaries depicts their struggle against a regime of terror, which continues today, so that the world will not forget them.
