The remarkable story of Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi

It’s exciting news that in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), the National League for Democracy (NLD) looks set to have won a stunning election victory, although there are many constitutional, economic and ethnic problems ahead.

The NLD leader is the remarkable Aung San Suu Kyi who has a special connection with the UK because her late husband was British. Her story was told four years ago in a moving, but little-noticed,  film called simply “The Lady”. You really should try to view it. You’ll find my review here.
