The War We Carry

2026 • 1h 38m • Documentary

In a land where time stands still hope is what keeps us moving

Hninn is a diligent student who wants to become a nun. In February 2021, the military seizes power in Myanmar and everything she has strived for vanishes overnight. Civil war breaks out in the country and Hnin's family must learn to live with constant fear: moving house, going into hiding, deciding who to trust and where to go at all. For six years, the camera follows them as they search for a safe place in a country torn apart. And yet, amidst all this horror, there is still room for faith, courage and even joy.
