Dad, tell me a story.
I can tell you about Burma,
the time when it was called the Gold Country.
This is a story that you like that?
Yes!
There was once a beautiful country,
Burma.
Everywhere there was
forests of teak and ebony.
At that time, tigers roamed the jungles
and herds of elephants roamed the Great Plains .
It was sapphires as blue as the sky azure
and rubies even redder than your cheeks.
Jewelry that even a princess like you would not dream.
And then?
In fact, this is a sad story.
Soldiers came from a far country
and took of all that was most precious.
Thus we have become very poor.
My treasure!
Sit there, my darling.
I gotta go, but mom is there.
Hello!
What is needed urgently is to form a government.
Without popular support
our government
will have no democratic legitimacy.
Here we go.
General!
M. Aris,
physician awaits.
It's hard
to predict changes.
It can go fast, 5 months
or slower, 5 years.
You should have time to your affairs in order.
Should we call your wife for her to come pick you up?
My wife?
If only...
She lives in Burma now.
Hello!
Pass, please. Research Director, Tibetan and Himalayan Studies
Thank you.
Today I want to talk
the emphasis that the Bhutanese
on the importance of family,
Community...
And respect for elders.
This damn rain!
Between.
So, what is cancer?
Prostate, to be precise.
Do we told you how long it you...
I have five months to five years.
Damn it, Michael.
I can accomplish a lot in five years.
And Suu?
It may wish to return.
Anthony you know that if she left Burma,
they will not let go.
And you, Michael? You did not seen for three years.
What is your wife, finally. The mother of your children.
The junta unfold the red carpet if she wanted to leave.
There is no question.
Too much blood has been shed, too many lives were lost.
Millions of people rely on it.
Whatever happens, Anthony
promise me to look after the boys.
Course! You can count on me, you know.
Yes.
- Hello, darling. - My angel.
The advance your book?
Easy.
It smells good.
- Eat Burmese tonight. - Perfect.
Stop.
You've found a title?
Yes.
Father of Aung San Suu Kyi
Very original.
A storm is brewing.
Hi, Mom, Dad.
It went well, your day?
It's going to. I'm starving.
The dinners at 19h.
Do you have homework?
All facts.
Kim.
- Almost all. - Go and put then.
Hi, Dad.
Hi, Alexander.
In Burma, is chaos in the streets of Rangoon.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators protested
against the massacre of students by the authorities.
According to witnesses, hundreds of students
protesting peacefully
Inya Lake
were killed at close range by soldiers.
Other demonstrators were seriously injured.
The demonstrators demanded the departure of junta
who ruled the country with an iron fist since the coup of 62.
The Burmese regime is recognized
As one of the most repressive and secrets.
Despite the authorities' determination to crush the uprising,
it seems that students receive
a growing popular support.
I'm glad to hear your voice.
Your mother is at the central hospital.
You should come quickly.
Mom had a stroke.
I'll find you a flight.
Be wise. Help your father's house.
I have a hard time finding a phone.
Do not worry if you are no news.
You come back when?
In a week. Two, perhaps.
Come on, let's go.
It's very late.
Come on, we do not have time.
I love you.
Please, hurry.
- You come from England? - That's it.
You stay long?
The time it takes.
Uncle Leo!
You're still beautiful!
You know what started it all,
this is the decision to prohibit General
values?? That are not multiples of 9.
What is his favorite number.
U The restaurants have closed,
students took to the streets.
All this because of the superstitions of a crackpot.
Do not hesitate to call.
Yes. Thank you for everything, Uncle Leo.
LIKE THE COUNTRY
Suu!
Mom.
Do you feel how?
Tired.
You knew the massacre?
The riots that followed made headlines everywhere.
How will my grand-son?
They are no longer toddlers.
It's time the toilet.
Thank you.
Go!
Stop it. Good day, stop the nonsense.
Good day!
- Hi. - Go ahead.
Kim, down your neck.
Yes, that's it.
See you tonight!
Is she talking to others?
Only a few.
Does she said the duration of his stay?
She said "how long it takes."
Return here immediately.
What are you doing?
They arrest the students.
She can not leave this state.
Wait!
Think first.
Calmly.
Let's put it in his bed, then 'll see what happens.
With the help!
Help others out there!
Our struggle!
Let them! These are patients.
Stop!
I wear the red scarf. I have the right to kill you.
New violence in Rangoon
where protesters came under bursts of retaliation.
This morning the army opened fire on students
Hospital near Rangoon. The balance sheet is very heavy.
A new curfew was declared...
Embassy of Great Britain
Mikey!
Suu!
Darling! Are you okay?
What a joy to hear you.
For me, too.
You've managed to dodge bullets? Despite myself, I was worried.
Sorry, I did not have phoned before.
Do not worry.
I miss you all.
We miss you too.
And your mom?
Doctors can not do anything for her.
Let's go home.
I'm sorry. This is what to do.
It's very restless here. I do not know where to start.
You're gone. You hear me?
I hear you again.
OK, boys?
Lls are very fit.
Here they are in bed, do not worry for them.
Wishes a Happy Birthday to Alex for me.
Course.
I'll catch up when I...
Soon as I get home.
Of course, darling.
We try to organize our visas.
We will join you as soon as possible.
Mikey?
Damn, it's impossible.
Slim!
You're back! What a joy!
My My!
Two grandchildren already?
Yes, two grandchildren.
Give me that.
Leave, you must be tired. I put it in your room.
Come on, kids.
I'm glad to be back.
Me too.
Daw Suu.
I'm Nita May. Your husband left a message.
He asked me to tell you they finally got their visas.
They will be there this weekend.
Thank you.
Other people came to see you.
A writer and his friends.
You look like your father.
Sorry for coming so early.
We have just learned your arrival
and can not pass up the opportunity.
This is a very important period.
We have many things to say.
Start, then.
Wait for me here.
Your shoes.
I'm surrounded by bad vibes
right now.
None of the 37 spirits.
It's a ghost.
So
it could be him?
Yes
this is one of the ancestors.
But
a spirit came to assist.
Coming from afar.
A woman?
Maybe.
Should I remove it?
The spirit became ghost is even more dangerous.
In this case,
how do I get rid of?
If the people are at peace,
he will not need spirit,
and return it to where it came from.
Thank you very much.
Your advice is always valuable to me.
Leo!
Glad to see you again.
Glad you're here. Come on, please.
Mom!
I missed you.
Get ready for total chaos.
Go!
Hello!
My My, how are you?
I'm fine.
Nice to see you again.
- Tom! - Professor Aris.
- Okay? - You look rang.
I was on the principle
that Suu lived alone to care for her mother.
Historians rarely see history in motion. Enjoy it.
If necessary, please.
Thank you very much.
Delighted you're here.
Below.
A little.
Here.
Ecarte yourself.
He said what?
He says
that the government can no longer ignore popular discontent,
and it assumes its share of responsibility
in the turmoil of recent months.
And since it starts to get old,
He will resign.
We will have a referendum on the country's political future.
Hello.
These gentlemen come from the university. Apparently...
It's urgent.
My colleagues and I teach the history faculty.
We are convinced
you can only lead the country to democracy.
As the daughter of Aung San,
you will automatically accession of the people.
Your father won the battle for independence.
This is an opportunity to finish what he started.
We must seize this opportunity.
Besides my lack of experience,
you may find
I have something to do.
Can I ask you to think?
Banish these dogs!
Come!
General six professors from the University
came to tell Aung San Suu Kyi that the people supported it.
That's it?
They are fighting for democracy
they want it to take the lead.
It shall not proceed further?
That's it.
Well, okay.
Tomorrow, Aung San Suu Kyi will to Shwedagon.
Your shoes.
Bad, minds do not have warned you!
Finally, the idea of?? Consulting the people
is not the solution.
It was an idea to you.
Turns
I have been badly advised.
General Sein Lwin,
I have a mission to tell you.
You will dismantle the centers of opposition
and deter troublemakers.
'S A lot of people.
Our prisons are big enough.
The most important
is to keep an eye Aung San Suu Kyi and her supporters.
Stop any gathering.
- At your orders, sir. - Okay.
We have only respect and admiration for you.
We must continue on foot.
Okay.
Let's go.
Stop the car!
The boys, let's go.
Hurry.
Dad, we will look for something to eat.
Okay, but not too far.
This is perhaps a little late to think ,
but I've never done public speaking.
Now if!
It is not far.
Reverend monks, the Burmese people!
The purpose of this gathering
Is to make the world hear the people's will.
The purpose of this gathering today
is to affirm the desire of the entire country to be a multiparty democracy.
This is what we want to demonstrate.
Some of you do not know my story
and that's quite normal
to want to know what it is.
Because I have lived abroad
and I married a foreigner,
they say I do not understand complex history of the country.
Let me honestly say
that's true. I lived abroad.
And I am also married to a foreigner .
But this is not provided
my love and my devotion to my country
Tampering or mitigated.
My father gave everything he had
in political life of Burma
and he paid with his life.
As the daughter of my father,
I can not remain indifferent
events taking place right now.
The goal we hold so dear is now in sight.
We call for free elections
and regular,
in the shortest possible time.
Mom!
Let us not divide.
Unite forward together towards our goal!
Daw Suu!
A million people?
Maybe not quite a million.
And the press?
Aung San Suu Kyi
daughter of General Aung San
And so far housewife in Oxford and mother of two,
became the great hope for the future in Burma.
It was incredible.
Yes, absolutely. Nevertheless...
A quarter century
of oppression does not fall apart overnight.
It remains to be done.
A pearl of the Raj. It was 80 until Ne Win expelled them.
Here.
Wonderful!
You have to go.
There is still time.
National League for Democracy
- Thank you, Tom. - Please.
It will not, Kim?
You missed the birthday of Alex
and you'll miss mine.
It's too dangerous for you to stay.
I should never forgive myself if something happens to you.
It's back. You must be for the beginning of the quarter.
Please...
Be courageous. For me.
- Watch over your brother. - Yes.
I want you to write me every day.
Goodbye, Mom.
- Be strong. - Do not worry.
- I love you. - I love you.
The leaflets of the NLD!
Everyone is in place.
National League for Democracy!
First Statement
I understood.
Sein Lwin, you know what to do.
Yes, Sir.
Let's go.
It must meet all minorities,
Myitkjina but is lost in the mountains.
Democracy requires the inclusion of all.
They are coming!
Ask your weapon.
Should leave.
Please put this weapon.
We will not respond in any way by violence.
Professor Aris, your visa is canceled.
- We take you to the airport. - I have time to pack my bags?
A minute.
Your program is very full.
We will have dosed your efforts.
Eat and rest well.
We will return.
Climb!
Take good care of Mom.
Course.
I start!
Lucinda, thank you!
From, I beg.
Anthony's there?
No, he just left.
I encourage you all to espouse the cause of democracy
and defense of human rights.
It is essential that we fulfill this peacefully
without further loss of lives.
We, the National League for Democracy,
've Come to ensure that you, the people,
can finally make your voice heard.
There is our village.
Opposite is another village.
No lumps.
- Missing some oats. - No, a pinch of salt.
Here!
Taste me that.
It looks good.
Your mother died! She's gone!
Mom?
The funeral of Daw Khin Kyi,
widow of the great national hero, Aung San,
were sumptuous.
Despite the absence of officials, forced by the authorities
to appear on their workplace,
any event did equaled since the coup.
At least 100,000 people have accompanied the remains
To the grave...
A problem solved!
Let's get the others as soon as possible!
Thank you.
You were a very devoted daughter.
Your father would be proud.
Having done your duty,
you must be pressed to go home.
Once you are ready,
you will be taken to the airport.
It is not necessary, General Nyunt.
For now, here is my duty in Burma
for the campaign.
And your young son?
Their mother must miss them.
The sooner we conduct elections, faster I will be with them.
Maybe you require Ne Win to hurry.
She said she would not go
After the elections.
Apply more pressure on this woman.
This meeting is prohibited. Go home!
All in a row!
I will not hesitate to shoot!
Ready!
They do not pretend.
Wait till another day.
No, do not pay attention to them.
We will continue peacefully.
Stay there first.
Go home! That's an order!
If you are still not I will open fire!
Un...
Two...
Stop! Remember your men, we're leaving!
Let's go!
You should go now.
Loans!
Un...
Two...
Three!
What is more dangerous than a general ?
Two generals.
Then,
it's you
Which have threatened to shoot?
Yes.
And you...
You have taken the initiative to save it. True?
You will all have the opportunity to learn a good lesson.
Your weapon.
Give it to me.
Take him.
His father, the martyr, was a constant threat to us.
We can not afford a second martyr.
Do not misunderstand me.
The tree whose roots have been cut
eventually fall alone.
In an unprecedented escalation intimidation,
Aung San Suu Kyi almost got shot by soldiers yesterday
a rally in Danyubu province.
Name of God, Suu!
I encourage you all to espouse the cause of democracy
and defense of human rights.
It is essential that us to fulfill this peacefully,
without further loss of lives.
Democracy!
Follow us!
A good day.
Do not you, U Win Tin?
Daw Suu, everywhere we went,
they were arrested and taken people.
They took them where?
Some in a forced labor camp at the border
to transport weapons and drugs
for the generals.
And the others?
Should write to the UN
and Amnesty International to inform them
treatment of the Burmese people by the military.
What to write, please.
My darling,
Every day new atrocities
Committed by a regime desperate to cling to power.
But you can not go back.
As my father said: "Hopefully all goes well
"while preparing for the worst."
So, darling, I implore you, keep yourself well to make you worry.
Hi, Dad.
Your mother kisses you.
It is well?
Always busy.
I hope that his efforts will be rewarded.
Hello.
- Please. - Thank you.
Professor Finnis.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Sorry to bother you. Prof. Michael Aris,
Aung San Suu Kui's husband...
course!
I am the course of your wife with admiration.
Not to annoy you,
I think you have influence with the Nobel Committee.
You willing to submit the name of my wife?
His candidacy is very solid.
Anything that reinforces its international reputation
contributes in some way to protect.
You can imagine, the question of its safety
weigh myself a lot.
Please send me a kind of CV
and I will present to Vaclav Havel and his Committee.
It would we very helpful.
You see,
everyday I tell myself that luck could abandon.
I will do my best.
Thank you very much.
Karma! I was looking for you. Follow me.
Pr Aris, I must...
I need you.
Instead of titillating about the election date,
I concocted a plan of action. I have here somewhere
all dissertations Suu.
Including one of his father
and on colonial Burma.
Read all of this and see what you get to draw.
We will nominate Suu the Nobel Prize.
It's great.
Yes.
Good. At work! We'll see what happens.
Good.
It will not help I tell you to preserve you,
but please, remains judicious in all things.
You have to choose the right time.
If your husband loves you deeply still has some authority over you,
so listen to me, I pray.
Be as gentle with yourself as I would if I was there.
Dad!
Warning!
Lord!
Looks like it's Christmas in advance.
Kim, watch out, finally!
Yes, my brother in perfect!
Yes.
How?
Oh no!
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Lucinda, I remind you.
Good. Goodbye.
Dad?
That was your Aunt Lucinda.
I'm sorry, your grandfather died.
I have to organize the funeral Scotland.
A Burmese Nobel Prize?
I'll tell you.
This woman must be isolated
all those who support it.
As to isolate the world...
Head?
I have an idea on the issue.
Continue.
Give me the reins.
I can make it be forgotten, here and elsewhere.
Tell a figure.
5.
Sein Lwin, you may have.
Now
you alone make me accountable.
You have carte blanche to solve this problem.
- Count Me in. - Good.
Hello!
It's time to wake up.
Hello!
Did you sleep well?
So
Do not be afraid,
but home is surrounded by soldiers.
There is perhaps nothing will.
But if I am arrested, I arranged
for your repatriation.
I want you to know that whatever happens,
we pamper you. Okay?
Yes.
Aung San Suu Kyi, you are officially
Arrest. Apart from your children,
everyone must leave.
Enter quickly at home, as discreetly as possible.
Out!
Go away!
Take that!
File.
Immediately.
Take everything. Not allow any document here.
Drain the library.
These are my jokes.
They do not make you laugh, that's it.
Take the small and will find your father. Go, dark!
Take all folders.
Yes, I understand.
All lines are cut Burmese, or only one?
I see. It.
Thank you.
Follow me!
While you're in Rangoon,
you are subject
detention conditions your wife.
No contact with the Embassy
Nor with any political activist.
It is clear?
Yes.
Enjoy!
Chocolate? We did not.
Boys!
Dad?
Where are the others?
Mom makes the hunger strike.
The hunger strike?
Mikey.
They came early in the morning and arrested my colleagues,
but I am under house arrest.
I know that I will not eat
that when I put in prison too.
- They cut the phone. - With scissors!
You can not imagine
my relief that you're here.
When did you eat?
There are three days.
- Four. - Three.
It is never a dull moment in this family.
What do I do with you?
Growing concern
About the fate of Professor Aris, a British academic
disappeared there for a fortnight.
It has not been seen since his arrival in Rangoon
where he came to visit his wife.
The Department has called for new urgently
but the Burmese authorities refuse to say
if he's okay and where he is.
According to the British Embassy,?? The only thing we know is that...
Listen, Suu.
If you die,
boys lose their mother
and your people, its best defender.
I can try something?
What?
Sitting.
Standing.
I wish you submit a proposal.
It's been 12 days
my wife has not eaten anything.
I must stress
Speed at which his condition deteriorates.
It is ready
to give up his hunger strike,
if you give a formal assurance
that colleagues are treated well.
I emphasize the danger it.
It will not survive more than a day or two.
I ask you to carefully consider
consequences that you will support if you do not act quickly.
Authorities give you the assurance
that no harm will be done to your colleagues.
It suits you?
Aung San Suu Kyi is worried about you, apparently.
Here, eat.
What is that noise?
It's called...
Music.
I spent the week the strangest of my life.
Thank you for everything.
I do without you would not exit.
The house will be quiet.
I know. I will continue
waving the red rag.
So long as we quickly tunnel.
I'm okay, Mikey. Do not worry.
Ta priority, it is boys.
I know.
The Burmese authorities have announced that the ballot would be held in May.
However, Aung San Suu Kyi was not authorized
to be a candidate in elections
under an obscure law
prohibiting the President of Burma to have a foreign spouse.
I understand.
Okay.
Bye.
- What call brutal! - Who was that?
The Embassy.
Boys no longer meet the conditions of Burmese nationality.
Their passports are invalidated. Effect.
It is beyond comprehension.
They decided that preventing Suu to see his children
was an effective way of breaking it.
At least they hold elections.
Wait and see.
Hopefully everything is resolved soon.
Yes, hope.
We all cling to hope.
This is a day that few would have imagined Burmese live.
Across the country, incredible scenes.
We press their thousands to vote
first elections in 40 years.
The first estimates are falling...
Aung San Suu Kyi
392 seats.
La Junta
10 seats.
She won!
My God!
It's great!
In Burma,
it's a tidal wave extraordinary for Aung San Suu Kyi
and his party, the National League
for Democracy.
In a country where gatherings of more than 5 persons are prohibited,
NLD party seems
to celebrate his victory to the end of the night.
I'll put flowers in their hair.
Final result of the vote
Check this out!
This woman won.
This is absurd!
Bring the phone!
Stop!
Go back immediately!
Stop. Go back!
This is silly. I just want to talk to them. Do not be ridiculous.
- I'll talk to them. - I have the authority to shoot.
You will not shoot.
Go back home!
Sit.
Now that the elections were held,
I have good news for you.
Authorities are willing to find common ground.
If you write to your wife
to encourage him to return to Oxford to live faster,
they will empower you from there.
I see.
Since I have no intention
to ask such a thing to my wife,
I'll take my leave.
Those bastards will stop at nothing!
If they hope that I will flatten, they will be surprised.
Let's go.
Despite his crushing defeat,
Burmese junta still can not Aung San Suu Kyi
taking office as prime minister-elect.
She is still confined home
while leaders of his party, the NLD,
are arrested one after the other.
The monks launched a protest movement
and monasteries were stormed by the army.
I assure you, Professor Aris
we do our best.
Nevertheless, we believe
that by imposing economic sanctions on Burma,
we would give free rein in Beijing
who would benefit for strengthen its economic stranglehold
on Rangoon.
Now I have an important meeting.
I wish you luck.
Pr Finnis.
- How are you? - I've been better.
I think what I have to say will cheer you up.
The joy and pride we feel, our children and I,
are tinged with sadness and apprehension .
I doubt that the Nobel Prize ever awarded
a person who is in isolation so extreme.
And I know he was never given a woman in this situation.
This will do three years that Suu is detained for political reasons
by the military regime.
We, his family, have no contact with her.
The only thing we know,
is that she's all alone.
I hope selfishly
that our situation will become more liveable
recognition through Supreme
its moral and physical courage,
And that we will finally have the right to report visit again.
We miss her a lot.
You too, I miss you.
One of us will make a speech at the award ceremony.
Volunteers?
If your mother has access to a radio,
it will be very touched to hear one of you.
I will.
Good. That's good.
We live in Oslo, I where the Nobel Prize is...
There is more power!
We no longer have the radio!
This is good, do not worry. I'm on it.
I called Michael Alexander
and Kim Aris.
Move up to receive the gold medal and diploma
behalf of your wife
and mother,
Nobel Laureate
1991
Aung San Suu Kyi.
I have another radio!
Quick, quick!
Batteries are required, wait.
Now it was the turn of the young Alexander Aris,
eldest son of Aung San Suu Kyi
take place on the podium.
I stand here before you today
to accept on behalf of my mother, Aung San Suu Kyi
the best reward, the Nobel Peace.
Because circumstances prevented him from joining us,
I will try to say what she wants probably express.
We must remember that the lonely struggle
that takes place in a ownership under surveillance in Rangoon
fits in the global fight for Shipping
of the human mind
of political tyranny and oppression psychological.
Lessons from the past will not be forgotten.
It is our hope for the future
we celebrate today.
What is that noise?
From music.
The old generals will be forced to yield.
This is a matter of time.
Yes, I hope.
Let's see what happens.
Pathways military are impenetrable.
Your mother would be proud of you.
Thank you.
Bravo.
Why?
Okay.
Suu.
Mom.
Off your shoes. I do not want mud in the house.
The dinners later tonight, at 19:30. Comes Uncle Anthony.
What has he?
I miss Mom.
Liberate us from the fear
"To progress, humanity must learn from Gandhi."
Exchange with him.
"The art of a people is a reflection of his thought."
Is it a new face?
Name?
Do you speak English?
What is your name?
Arun.
Approach. I'll show you something.
Do not be afraid, I do not bite.
"You do not think about politics.
"But the political thinking of you."
These are the words of my father.
Cogitez on it for you.
Eminence, thank you
take the time to receive me.
Dear Michael, I think Suu every day.
I wish we could do more .
I hope you bring me good news .
No, sorry, but the situation has hardly changed.
The fact is that the generals scoff that the United States
and Europe condemn their action.
Asian Without support, I doubt
we make progress.
Why wait? Excuse me.
My Friends.
Hello!
I want to annoy few moments.
It is a pleasure to see you again.
The Asian Nations South East
have carefully studied your request
to join our association.
A priori,
we are quite favorable.
I am enchanted. A toast!
But although the U.S. And Europe are our competitors,
we depend on their goodwill.
Democracy takes time to implement.
It is not done overnight.
We understand.
It would be fashionable you make a gesture.
What kind of gesture?
The police chief is here to see you.
Your house arrest is lifted.
You are free to come and go as you please.
Is that you?
You will not believe it, but I call the embassy.
I am free.
Tell the boys
I am free.
It's not possible!
My colleagues also were released.
If I hurry, I can succeed
to be with you tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be a great day.
A wonderful day!
I hope to reorganize a meeting of the NLD.
One of the happiest days of my life.
Starting tomorrow morning.
I called the airport. It may be tomorrow.
But very soon!
Because the struggle continues.
What is it?
The fight continues.
The Lady waits
I've never seen her so radiant.
I'm glad you're here.
Hello, Mom.
Alexander!
Where is my boy?
What a joy to have you all!
Daw Suu, we must advance!
I did not for long.
Go.
Dad.
There you are!
I've been looking everywhere.
You know me.
I do not stray.
Many years ago I expected hold you in my arms.
I can not stop pinching myself.
When I thought of you, I imagined what you were doing.
Often I mentioned. Sometimes aloud.
You always felt reassured.
You remembered your unfailing love.
You are aware that the world wants beatify you.
The cult of personality does not interest me much.
A saint, this is just a sinner who is efforts.
What are your faults?
You forgot?
My tantrums, my impatience.
And I stop.
I know.
I've read good things about you, anyway.
"The Mandela Rangoon", "The Burma Star".
My favorite is the one the Times.
A beautiful picture of you
and below, the title "The Iron Orchid".
This is how you see me?
I did not order much, lately.
If you want your freedom back...
Start from scratch...
I want you to know
I understand that.
Listen.
I will not deny that this long separation is heavy.
For boys, too.
But things are perfectly clear.
Since the beginning, against all odds
we have always shared the same dream for Burma.
I consider him, not as an obstacle,
but as the bond that unites us.
You must be the husband the most indulgent of all history.
I have not seen her since.
Since that day, wiped refusal on refusal.
I could fill out their forms eyes closed.
- Thank you. - Nothing.
Suu know?
Finally,
you will have to tell him.
Everything in its time, Anthony.
How will you tell her?
A letter from England!
How wonderful!
It does me good to hear your voice.
How are you, my love?
Did you get my letter.
I'm trying to adjust to the idea.
Yes, of course.
The good news
is that I intend to fight until the end.
And nothing will stimulate me more than come see you.
If all goes well for my visa...
And I believe
that my condition would make them indulgent
once and for all...
We have a good chance to see us for my birthday.
We celebrate together.
Okay.
Yes.
Courage, Suu.
Courage. High hearts!
Hello? Are you still there?
Yes, I'm here.
Good.
A former student of mine,
a former monk
called Karma,
with me.
Good.
Yes.
Take care of yourself.
See you soon. It will not be long.
Suu?
Gordon, we...
Gordon,
we must try to pressure the authorities.
According to Anthony steps have already been undertaken.
He spoke to Desmond Tutu and the White House.
Rest assured that none of us will sit
before Michael had his visa.
Thank you.
You are your worst enemy.
I beg you, Michael. Back to bed.
- It's almost midnight. - I know.
10 minutes, Karma. Give me another 10 minutes.
I have a mountain of mail
to treat.
It can not wait.
Who will care for my students?
There are people who count on me.
I can not spend my time hanging out in bed.
Please...
I recoucherai in 10 minutes.
Promised?
I promise.
Tomorrow.
Good night.
Okay?
Have you heard?
Quickly, they will cut the line.
I need to know.
Do they suggested that you could come?
Now multiply it.
I swear.
It will not be very long.
I thought...
Yes?
I should...
You think I should come?
You must not think about it for a moment.
It was not all that to collapse so close.
The highest level support us.
Everything suggests that...
Hi.
It was your mother.
She kisses you.
It took longer than expected.
But I knew
someday even the daughter of General Aung San
eventually give up.
Mrs.
General has read your letter carefully.
He asked me to inform you
that the authorities are not equipped
for the care of your husband.
It's not what you are asked.
The Norwegian government lends us an air ambulance.
The Dalai Lama sends us one of his doctors to follow Michael.
You want to be with your husband in such circumstances.
I offer you a place on the next flight.
You might be at his bedside tomorrow.
You would not let me go back.
You are free to choose
between your husband and your children
and your country.
What is your idea of?? Freedom?
Visa refused
Another refusal.
And meanwhile time slips through my fingers.
I am not yet ready to shoot my bow.
Do you hear?
What will happen
Kim
and Alex?
Michael, take a deep breath.
I feel like I'm going crazy.
Calm down.
Dad.
I'm sorry.
It makes me sick to be sick.
Who are you?
The good, ma'am.
I want to talk to my husband.
He had a very bad night. It is Palliative Care.
They left number of his friend Karma.
I give you?
Yes. Please.
Karma?
The news is not good. Michael is Palliative Care.
It declines quickly.
We must do something.
It must be possible.
They tried everything.
I'm sorry.
Hi, Mom.
It did not for long.
But I can not.
My hands are tied.
I know.
It's going to die.
Please, try to understand.
It would be a cross
on everything for which your father and I have fought so long.
Mommy kiss.
It's my birthday tomorrow, you know.
Yes, I know.
This would lend itself
to my final bow, I think.
The husband Nobel Peace Aung San Suu Kyi
died of cancer the day of his 53rd birthday...
Aung San Suu Kyi!
"Use your liberty to promote ours."
