Overview

Letter to a Friend tells the story of Shan migrants in Thailand fleeing conflict, repression, and forced military recruitment in neighbouring Myanmar. Narrating his story to a friend who stayed behind, the protagonist describes the dangerous journey from his home country, his struggles to secure a livelihood without legal rights, and his concern for friends who remain back home. Against the background of deteriorating human rights in Myanmar, and told in their own words, Letter to a Friend depicts the deep humanity and resourcefulness of this group of unrecognized refugees in an often forgotten part of the world. This film was made by five Shan migrants from Myanmar in collaboration with Ngao Tong Films and the Ethnographic Impact for Social Justice Project at VU Amsterdam.
