Synopsis
Examines
the issue of Islamic insurgency in Thailand within the context of the
country's unstable democracy. This complex political situation is seen
through the viewpoint of Kraisak Choonhavan, Thailand's outspoken
human-rights activist. As he ventures into the south, we also see a
different side of the Muslim community. Many do not understand how,
after generations of living peacefully with the Buddhists, times have
suddenly turned so violent. And the response of former Prime Minister
Thaksin Shinawatra's government to those separatist attacks has
intensified the mutual mistrust and atrocities on both sides.
