Our Friend is Gone,

but Our Resistance in Myanmar Lives On

NYT    31 January 2024

 

 

 

 

Our Friend is Gone, but Our Resistance in Myanmar Lives On

video    Op-Docs    NYT    31 January 2024

 

San Zaw Htway was an artist, activist,

political prisoner and dear friend.

 

From 2013 to 2017,

we lived and worked in Myanmar with San Zaw Htway,

who spent 13 years — of a 36-year-sentence —

imprisoned under harsh conditions.

 

He died at the end of 2017 after a cancer diagnosis.

 

San Zaw Htway touched many lives,

serving as a dedicated trauma counselor to former political prisoners

and teaching children and refugees to make artwork using recycled materials,

as he did when he was in prison.

 

After the February 2021 military coup in Myanmar,

a Burmese friend wrote to us asking,

“What would San Zaw Htway have done in a time like this?”

 

And so the idea for this short documentary was born.

 

We asked San Zaw Htway’s loved ones,

some of whom are in hiding or are involved in the resistance,

to write to him as an act of remembrance

and a way of seeking solace and hope

in the midst of the military’s brutal crackdown.

 

This film is composed of their words,

read by narrators to protect the identity of the writers.

Until the end of his life,

San Zaw Htway retained his gentle wisdom and joy;

his many years of suffering did not harden him to the world.

 

As the people of Myanmar continue to live under violent military rule,

we hope this film will shine a light on his legacy

and the Burmese activists who have followed in his footsteps.

- Film and Text by Petr Lom and Corinne van Egeraat

In Myanmar, Harvesting for Heroin

BY Jonah M. Kessel | Jan. 3, 2015 | 6:31        NYT        USA

 

A toxic mix of civil war and poverty

has driven some Burmese farmers back to poppy,

satisfying a growing global hunger for heroin.

If It Were My Home

 

The headlines tell a lot

about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife,

evacuations of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

 

But you may have one very basic question

that you can't easily find an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

 

You can look at maps

and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
