About Never Shall We Be Enslaved
On May 7, 1885, during a time when Burma was about to fall to the British, within the King's Palace, the Lord of Navy and Bo Kyaw Khaung were trying to join forces with the French to defend themselves. A group of Bo Thurain and Bo Min Htin, loyal to Prince of Nyaungyan, were trying to defend their own kingdom without relying on anyone. At that time, there was a time of disunity and ethnic division, and the British took advantage of the illegal logging and tried to take over the country. Who would stand up and fight to keep the Burmese state from falling?
Directed by Kyi Soe Tun, Never Shall We Be Enslaved leans on a strong ensemble — Nyunt Win, Nay Aung, Kyaw Thu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 1997.
