Myanmar: The Spring Revolution

The Myanmar military has killed more than 700 people since they seized power in a coup three months ago. Mass protests demanding a return to democracy and the release of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi have been met with brutal force. Borders are closed, and the internet is effectively blocked. This is a story the military does not want the world to see. But some people are bravely resisting and are willing to tell their stories. Our World follows a brother and sister now fighting for their future. As their options narrow, can they - and others like them - win the fight?
