Rohingya, 2021

Video (2 hours, 2 minutes)

Content Advisory: Violence, animal cruelty.

Rohingya, directed by Ai Weiwei, is an extension of the documentary Human Flow, which focuses on the plight of the Rohingya population who had to flee Myanmar due to widespread violence against the ethnic group. This documentary was filmed with an intention to search for the truth, a key characteristic for Ai Weiwei's works.
