This short documentary highlights refugees’ voices about repatriation from camps along the Thailand border back into Burma. Featuring interviews with the UNHCR, leading academics, representatives from civil society organizations, and the refugees themselves, the film shows the lack of information currently available to most refugees and outlines the necessity of including refugees in the decision-making and planning processes related to their return to Burma.
A Burma Partnership Initiative. Filmed and Directed by Timothy Syrota.
