Synopsis
In the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis, which struck Myanmar's Ayeyarwaddy Delta in May 2008, young filmmakers ventured into devastated villages to document the destruction. Their footage captures the stark reality of loss and survival in a region where 140,000 lives were claimed by the storm. Operating under a filming ban, the filmmakers used pseudonyms for safety. They revealed their identities when the film screened at the 2nd Wathann Film Festival in 2012, marking a significant moment for Burmese cinema.
