The Rohingya are a stateless people described by the UN as one of the world’s most persecuted minorities. They are reviled in Myanmar, the country many Rohingya call home, and unwelcome in neighbouring Bangladesh, where tens of thousands live in refugee camps. For decades, they’ve suffered official discrimination from the Myanmar government. But now they could be facing their worst crisis yet.
This film won the first prize at the Human Rights Press Awards in 2013.
