MYANMAR COMEDIAN WRITES FILM SCRIPT ABOUT AUNG SAN SUU KYI’S FATHER
January 11th 2008 02:31
Myanmar film director Maung Thura, better known as the comedian Zarganar, is writing an ‘interactive’ script for a movie he hopes will be made about the life of independence hero Aung San, father of Aung San Suu Kyi.
The Irrawaddy Journal reports that Zarganar, “who has repeatedly fallen foul of the present regime because of his iconoclastic humor and pro-democracy activities,” said he wanted the film to be made by a foreign producer. He is banned by the regime from film and video work.
Zarganar is publishing his script on his web site Really Long Link inviting readers to contribute their input.
Ironically, Aung San is the ‘father’ of the Tatmadaw, the same military machine that imprisoned his daughter.
