EXILED juxtaposes contrasting views on the events— those of the Burmese military, radical Buddhist monks and Rohingya refugees. The film explores the roots of increasing violence in the Rakhine State from the side of the Burmese military and the recently-appeared Rohingya military insurgency, known as the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ASRA).

The story of genocide is told by those people who have committed it as they seek to justify their actions. EXILED is the only film which features former head of Burmese Military Intelligence, General Khin Nyunt, the mastermind of policy of persecution of Rohingya. His testimony is juxtaposed with the testimony and video evidence provided by Rohingya victims.

Drawing out the stories of the perpetrators of abuses, while also putting forward the views of the victims, EXILED effectively emphasizes the horror of the ongoing situation for the viewer.
