Film has the power to tell some incredibly moving stories. Young people of Myanmar standing up against a military regime, a village’s harmful superstitions against twins, the horrific aftermath of burn pits, children playing at cardboard war, the evils of big oil companies against unprotected peoples, and refugees sharing their new beginnings. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions as these six impactful films from six countries explore deeply compelling concepts and extraordinary people.
