Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Michelle Yeoh was banned from entering Burma for playing Suu Kyi; the military junta called her film 'propaganda.'
Released before Suu Kyi's 2015 electoral victory and subsequent controversial silence on Rohingya persecution—making the film's optimism feel almost archival now.
