Aung San Suu Kyi is the political opposition leader at the center of over 20 years of social unrest in Burma. Yet she was a British housewife before she returned to Burma to join the struggle for freedom. Upon her return she was held under house arrest for fifteen years, with minimal contact with her family and friends. Lady of No Fear offers a close-up view of Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband, Dr. Michael Aris, who died in 1999, still unable to see his wife. The film is a tribute to the woman at the heart of the rebellion, her steadfast husband and supporter, and not least to Gandhi's vision of non-violent civic resistance.
