AlJazeeraEnglish | The exiled Myanmar artist pleading for the world’s attention | Witness Documentary ...
When Myanmar’s fledgling democracy was destroyed, Sai’s life was turned upside down and his father was imprisoned. Sai and his wife K went into hiding. As Myanmar faded from international headlines, they knew they had to take action, and created a series of unique artworks.
Armed with this work, they flee to Europe, on a mission to use it as a form of activism. They are haunted by the abuses in Myanmar, visa issues and the ever-present risk to those back home. Sai becomes increasingly fraught, questioning his mission and whether he can bring about meaningful change.
Please Enjoy Our Tragedies is a documentary film by Charlie Scrimgeour.
