The Secret Jungle Hospital
With drones flying overhead, a hidden hospital in Myanmar is battling to save lives in the midst of war. The 麻豆社's Quentin Sommerville and team spent time with rebels close to the front line.
Myanmar's civil war has claimed almost 100 thousand lives. In 2021, the country's military seized power in a coup - and after losing ground to rebel and ethnic groups, it's making a renewed push - carrying out the forced-recruitment of tens of thousands of conscripts - and employing new drone technology. The United Nations' human rights spokesman has condemned the military's tactics which he's called brutal, and he's said that civilians are paying a terrible price. 麻豆社 correspondent, Quentin Sommerville and camera journalist Darren Conway have spent time with rebel groups.
This films contains some graphic scenes, including surgery and childbirth.
