Description
Burma: Something Went Wrong features portraits of a people struggling against the country’s military regime along its borders. Photographer Chan Chao traveled the Thai-Burma border and sought out student activists who had called for democracy in Burma during the 1988 uprising. These stunning portraits bring to life the people of the border and their desire for sociopolitic change.
