When Aung San Suu Kyi was released after 15 years of house arrest in Myanmar, she was celebrated as an icon of democracy. She had stood up to the country鈥檚 military dictatorship and been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Ten years on, she is now seen by many as an international pariah, condemned for complicity in brutal atrocities.

In this film, those who know Aung reveal how key events have shaped her reputation in the last ten years, from her decision to become a politician in the military-created parliament to her struggle to bring democratic reform and her recent appearance at the International Court of Justice to face allegations of genocides against the Rohingya Muslims. Was Aung San Suu Kyi misunderstood? Did she lack the skills necessary to succeed as a politician? Or has she been the victim of fiendishly complicated circumstances?
