Rohingya (2021, 2h02)
Rohingya (2021) is a
continuation of Ai Weiwei’s previous films Human Flow (2017) and The Rest
(2019) which spotlight the plight of refugees. The feature-length documentary
focuses on Rohingya refugees who were forced out of Myanmar in August 2017. The
Rohingya are an ethnic Muslim minority from Myanmar’s Rakhine State who have
suffered several decades of persecution by the Burmese government. Following
widespread ethnic cleansing by the Burmese army, they fled to Cox’s Bazar,
Bangladesh, which have become the world’s largest refugee camp of our time and
accommodate nearly 900,000 refugees now.
