Preparing for the Worst: Myanmar's Civil War, The Karenni Resistance | Short Documentary
Myanmar’s Hidden War: World's Toughest Places : youtu.be/2V93j1rlczg
In the remote rugged hills of Myanmar, one of South East Asia’s least-known countries, a
decades-old civil war is raging between the country’s Military regime and a myriad of armed
ethnic insurgencies.
In the landlocked state of Karenni, the smallest of Myanmar’s 7 ethnic borderland regions,
ordinary civilians are seeking refuge at secret jungle and mountain training camps. Despite
not having military backgrounds, young people from all walks of life have decided to flee the
cities and take up arms to train to become insurgent fighters. Leaving their old civilian lives behind and training in various irregular warfare methods, these young men and women apply their skills to ready themselves for frontline action. In an attempt to defeat the Myanmar Military, these newly trained fighters must find innovative ways to take on a much bigger and better-equipped army, which has clung to power for decades through fear and violence in Myanmar’s ethnic regions.
Due to the region's remoteness and isolation from years of Military blockades, the insurgents
of Karenni must utilize the area's extensive smuggling networks to keep up their war
efforts. Everything from medicines to run their makeshift hospitals to weapons must be taken into their control zones by small nimble groups who must constantly avoid checkpoints and evade capture by traveling off-road.
This new generation of young, tech-savvy fighters is making impressive gains across
Myanmar’s Karenni state. The Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF) one of several
armed groups operating in the Karenni state has become a beacon of success on and off the
battlefields leading by example with its strict organization and determined fighters who fight
with strong ideals for justice and freedom. But relying on makeshift weaponry and struggling
against the tough conditions of forests and mountains, for how long this fresh army of
Guerillas can survive is in question. This film will take viewers on a journey into Myanmar’s
insurgent world, and show how this ancient form of warfare continues to persist in the modern world.
