Three years ago, a coup took place in Myanmar. The military's oppression claimed the lives of many citizens. Amid this turmoil, some fled to a border town in Thailand, taking up cameras as their weapon to fight back. Among them is a cameraman with a prosthetic leg who ventures to the frontlines of conflict to show the world the reality of their homeland. There's also a former Myanmar soldier broadcasting programs calling on his former comrades to surrender. This is a record of resistance through visual storytelling, captured by documentary filmmaker Toru Kubota, who was once detained by Myanmar authorities.

-Docu Meme Shorts-

Short films produced as part of the documentary collective "Docu Meme," which originated during the COVID-19 pandemic. We attempted to connect support for the impoverished and social movements with film. These films were shot between 2020 and 2021. This is a record of our practice aiming to memeify and integrate them into society.
