Tommaso Cotronei learnt about the revolution in Myanmar while attendinga film festival in Dhaka. The 60-year-old filmmaker, whose documentary Myanmar Resistance was premiered at the 12th edition of Kolkata People’s Film Festival (KPFF) in January, tells The Telegraph in an email, “I was born in a poor family in southern Italy. The focus of Myanmar Resistance is the country’s Gen Z. The past three years, KPFF has been offering a platform to filmmakers from Myanmar to tell these stories of resistance. China arms the coup plotters and the US arms the guerrillas, powerful nations waging war in others’ homes.
