They are denied the rights of citizenship, voting, free movement, and even the right to have more than two children per family.

Encountering some of those 600 thousands refugees who fled the massacre to neighbouring Bangladesh and Malaysia to hear their individual stories, will explore whether there is any hope in Myanmar.
