Artistic Freedom

Summary For fifty years, publishing a poem, making a movie or singing a song placed people in danger of detention, torture and imprisonment in Myanmar. Creativity was crushed, culture and art destroyed, individuality punished. Now, pop groups are going global, literary festivals can be held in public and graffiti is hip. Having survived the dark decades, the New Myanmar's most respected artists are struggling with a new challenge: How to inspire a generation who grew up in fear, were denied an education and have no sense of their country's history or identity.
