Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was filmed before the 2021 military coup that returned her to house arrest—she's currently imprisoned again, her icon status now irreparably shattered both ways.
The documentary notably excludes her own voice; she refused interviews, leaving only archival footage of her Nobel acceptance and later denials.
