Incredible story of Aung San Suu Kyi

When Aung San Suu Kyi is three years old her father has led Burma to independence and is assassinated by a death squad on 19 July 1947.

As an adult she goes to England, finds a loving husband and has a perfectly happy life until her mother's poor health forces her to return to her home country Burma where her father Aung San is unforgotten.

When she visits her mother in hospital she meets many people who have been wounded during the Tatmadaw's recent crackdown on the 8888 Uprising and her political consciousness does unfold. She accepts being an icon for Burma's people's self-determination for being and lives up to it.

Suu Kyi founds a party and clearly wins the election, but then the local military denies the population's will and decides to get Suu Kyi under their full control. Her family gets cracked when her husband and her children are banned from her mother's home country while she is put under a house arrest that will last for more than a decade. Yet their relentless struggling for Suu Kyi's recognition outside Burma is her guarantee she won't be forgotten and cannot disappear unnoticed.

Due to her families' efforts she becomes the first woman in the whole of Asia being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Yet their separation continues because neither can Suu Kyi attend the ceremony nor can her husband Michael Aris see her one last time before his early death.
