In Myanmar, the conflict between the Rohingya, a Muslim minority living in the western part of the country, and local Buddhists has intensified since 2016. Undeterred by the ongoing fighting, a Buddhist midwife and her Muslim apprentice decide to start providing medical services at a clinic in the conflict zone. To create <i>MIDWIVES</i>, the director returned to her homeland and spent five years documenting the two midwives from different backgrounds. Imbued with her unique perspective, the documentary offers a ray of hope for the troubled society of Myanmar.
