This 25min humanitarian documentary tells the story of Thoo Mweh Khee Learning Centre in Tak province, western Thailand, where refugees from Karen State in Burma are fighting back against the brutal Burmese regime – through education. The film explores how the Karen people have been persecuted and oppressed by the Burmese state in the course of the world’s longest running civil war stretching back to 1949, and Thoo Mweh Khee’s staff and students demonstrate how the extraordinary spirit of the Karen people has been able to endure in the face of genocidal violence. The film has been selected for more than a dozen international film festivals, including the Manchester International Film Festival and Italy’s prestigious Bellaria Film Festival, and won several awards.
