Improved Essays
After living under five long decades of tyranny by a militarized government, Aung San Suu Kyi finally has a chance to change the fate of her beloved country Burma. The world renowned freedom fighter and Nobel Peace Prize winner is campaigning to lead her political party to freedom.

With her strong leadership skills, Aung is winning the hearts and minds of the people every day. However, the hidden and brutal forces that control Burma have a more sinister plan that will keep the masses of the country oppressed for the next century, all while discrediting and destroying all those who oppose them in the process. The ruthless government is known to rig voting results, kill off liberators, and accuse those that oppose them as being western puppeteers.
