Tomatometer 4 Reviews Popcornmeter 0 Ratings
Hidden from the world's TV cameras, life under Myanmar's junta of terror in the aftermath of last year's military coup has been largely invisible. As an act of creative resistance, the anonymous Myanmar Film Collective composed this feature-length film by blurring reality and fiction, all segments from their first-person perspective, woven together with blood-chilling eye-witness footage in the form of citizen journalism. Berlinale's artistic director Carlo Chatrian highlighted the film in recent interviews as being "very politically relevant."

Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) Assembled by a collective of film-makers working anonymously, it’s a fragmentary work with no narration or captions to give context. In their different ways, however, its poetic meditations and its footage of terrible events are hard to forget. Rated: 4/5 Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Guillem Martinez Oya Cinematismo A Collective film about the horror suffred by the people in Myanmar. A necessary complaint film. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Jun 6, 2022 Full Review Ricardo Gallegos La Estatuilla Urgent protest cinema that artistically expresses the hopelessness and suffering of a devastating reality to inform, demand attention, and induce action.[Full Rev. in Spanish] May 7, 2022 Full Review Lee Marshall Screen International A defiant act of creative resistance, showing that cinema can be made even in the most difficult and dangerous of circumstances.
