This week we lend our feed to Myanmar's Resilient Voices season 7 episode 3 Resisting Harmful Narratives: The Power of Film in the LGBTQIA+ Struggle. In this episode, a filmmaker reflects on the traumatic impact of derogatory portrayals of the LGBTQIA+ community in Myanmar’s media.

Drawing from personal experiences, the speaker delves into how toxic narratives perpetuate emotional violence, societal exclusion, and even suicidal despair. Despite setbacks from Myanmar’s 2021 military coup, they discuss their journey from victim to activist, using film as a tool to challenge harmful stereotypes and advocate for the rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals.

This episode calls for a collective shift towards a more inclusive and supportive creative environment, urging a departure from harmful language and fostering a healthier future for the next generation. Please note that this episode contains distressing content.
