Sick

Country:
Myanmar
Director:
Zaw Bo Bo Hein
Running Time: 29min
Doctor turned director Zaw Bo Bo Hein delivers a powerful commentary on the state of the healthcare system in Myanmar in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis. The raw images of the hospital and the acting contribute to an oppressive atmosphere: the hospital becomes a prison from which the patient suffers as much as the sickness.
