In the remote rugged hills of Myanmar, one of South East Asia’s least-known countries, a decades-old civil war is raging between the country’s Military regime and a myriad of armed ethnic insurgencies.
In the landlocked state of Karenni, the smallest of Myanmar’s 7 ethnic borderland regions, ordinary civilians are seeking refuge at secret jungle and mountain training camps. Despite not having military backgrounds, young people from all walks of life have decided to flee the
cities and take up arms to train to become insurgent fighters. Leaving their old civilian lives behind and training in various irregular warfare methods, these young men and women apply their skills to ready themselves for frontline action. In an attempt to defeat the Myanmar Military, these newly trained fighters must find innovative ways to take on a much bigger and better-equipped army, which has clung to power for decades through fear and violence in Myanmar’s ethnic regions.
Due to region's remoteness & isolation from years of Military blockades, insurgents of Karenni must utilize area's extensive smuggling networks to keep up their war efforts. Everything from medicines to run their makeshift hospitals to weapons must be taken into their control zones by small nimble groups who must constantly avoid checkpoints & evade capture by traveling off-road.
This new generation of young, tech-savvy fighters is making impressive gains across Myanmar’s Karenni state. Karen Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF) one of several armed groups operating in Karenni state has become a beacon of success on & off in
battlefields leading by eg with its strict organization & determined fighters who fight w/strong ideals for justice & freedom, relying on makeshift weaponry & struggling against tough conditions of forests & mountains, for how long fresh army of Guerillas can survive is in question. This film will take viewers on a journey into Myanmar’insurgent world & show how ancient form of warfare continues to persist in the modern world.
