In the Ukhiya refugee camp located in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, the scars of the ongoing genocide in Myanmar are visible on each and every face of the stateless Rohingya refugees that have been displaced there. This documentary chronicles the recent and previous history of a conflict that has gone on for centuries, with explosive new testimony regarding the war crimes inflicted upon the Rohingya people. The documentary is an extensive historical retelling of a fractured and silenced past, with exposure to a horrifying yet hopeful present, and a special look at the youth that represent the Rohingya’s unpredictable future. “Blossoms from Ash” follows three young refugee children, each of whom has lost everything in the flight, as they struggle to balance education, celebration, and survival.
The purpose of Blossoms from Ash is to make the world aware of the Rohingya, the trials they have been through in their rightful homeland, and the challenges they face today. This film seeks to move audiences around the world to raise their collective voice about the crimes perpetrated by the government of Myanmar, and to pressure the governments protecting Myanmar from international action. Further, this documentary seeks to advance the efforts of the NGOs helping the Rohingya people, primarily by raising funds for improvements to the educational facilities serving the refugee children.
