Civil Warriors explores Myanmar's fight for democracy, giving voice to its citizens amidst a forgotten crisis. Following the military coup led by General Min Aung Hlaing in 2021, after five fleeting years of democratic progress, the people of Myanmar — unified across civil society and diverse ethnic backgrounds — rose against the generals' self-serving rule. Through the intimate stories of people affected by the coup, this film highlights their struggle for democratic rights and underscores the universal value of civil liberties, serving as a cautionary tale against the allure of autocracy and nationalism in democracy-tired societies.
