Description
Banned in Burma (Myanmar), Sittwe is a story about two teenagers from opposing sides of deadly religious and ethnic conflict. The film gives voice to the youth in a deeply divided society, to create space for dialogue about reconciliation. Phyu Phyu Than is a Rohingya Muslim girl and Aung San Myint is a Buddhist boy. Both saw their homes burned down during communal violence in 2012. Five years later, Phyu Phyu Than is languishing in an apartheid style camp for Rohingyas with no access to education beyond the 8th grade. She dreams of being a teacher and educating all youth -- Muslim and Buddhist -- in her hometown of Sittwe. Filmed over two years, Sittwe explores the teenagers' perceptions about "other" communities, their aspirations for education, and the possibility of reconciliation between the Buddhists and the Rohingya, described as the most persecuted minority in the world.
