SUMMARY:Documentary Screening and Discussion “Padauk: Myanmar Spring”
DESCRIPTION:To commemorate the International Human Rights Day on 10 December 2021 at 5pm\, SEA Junction will hold the screening of Padauk: Myanmar Spring\, a documentary that takes the viewer on to the streets of Myanmar during the heady days following the February 2021 military coup. \nThrough Nant\, a young\, first-time protester\, we meet three human rights activists whose lives have been turned upside down by the coup. As the protests continue\, Nant comes to understand the truth of a brutal military that has continued to wage war against its own people for decades. Against this foreboding backdrop\, does Nant’s political awakening regarding the plight of others in her ethnically diverse country offer any hope for the future? \nProduced by Kirana Productions and enriched by poetry and art\, Padauk: Myanmar Spring shows the resilience and determination of the people of Myanmar\, and the sacrifices they’ve made. To date it has been selected at the Dharamshala International Film Festival; Seoul International Women’s Film Festival; Myanmar Film Festival of Los Angeles; and Burma Spring Benefit Film Festival. \nAt the SEA Junction’s screening\, the documentary will be introduced by one of the two directors\, Jeanne Hallacy and will be commented upon by free-lance journalist Wai Moe. SEA Junction’s Director Rosalia Sciortino will moderate the discussion. \nSpeakers Profile \nJeanne Hallacy is an award-winning documentary maker and freelance producer based in Bangkok and San Francisco. Hallacy has covered social and human rights issues in Southeast Asia for two decades\, specializing in Burma and Thailand. Two of her many documentary titles\, Sittwe (2017)\, and Mother\, Daughter\, Sister(2018) have also been shown at SEA Junction. \nWai Moe\, former Burmese political prisoner turned journalist\, has worked for The Irrawaddy and\, since 2012\, as a stringer for The New York Times.
