Profile
A biopic of Burmese pro-democracy politician and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. It will chart her remarkable journey from housewife bringing up her children in Oxford to taking on the power of Burma's generals by becoming opposition leader. It will be set between 1988 - when Aung San Suu Kyi left Oxford to visit her sick mother and ended up staying - and 1999, the year Aris died after being diagnosed with cancer. Aris had been forbidden from entering Burma, a decision that left Aung San Suu Kyi with the almost impossible decision of whether to stay or go.
