Prayers from Kawthoolei
is a story of war; a miraculous opportunity to emigrate to safety, and the
"survivor guilt" that came thereafter. It's the true story of an
ethnic Karen man from Burma, now a Canadian citizen, Saw Winning, who is
spurred on by a video-letter he receives from a friend, back in his homeland,
who he has not seen in a long time. His friend, Saw Nay Wah, has joined
resistance forces fighting the military dictatorship in Burma. In the
video-letter Saw Nay Wah asks his friend, Saw Winning, to help his people if
he can and instructs Saw Winning to never forget his suffering people.
