Myanmar Forgotten Ethnicity is a documentary on the genocide of the Rohingya people in Myanmar and the forced displacement of more than 700,000 people. Produced in collaboration with UNHCR, the film documents a humanitarian crisis through firsthand presence, careful reporting, and an immersive approach that prioritizes dignity, safety, and truth.

This project was built the only way it could be built by being there. Camera in hand, we worked on the ground to capture reality as it unfolds, without sensationalism and without distance. We approached every scene with respect for survivors and affected communities, listening first and filming only what could be filmed responsibly. The result is a documentary that stays close to human experience while holding the scale of the atrocity in view.

As a documentary production company, Persona Films treats direction, cinematography, sound, and editing as one language. In Myanmar Forgotten Ethnicity, that language is intimate and precise. We focus on faces, gestures, and the weight of everyday life after displacement. We film the spaces people inhabit now, the loss they carry, and the resilience that remains. The camera becomes a witness. The storytelling keeps complexity intact while building a clear narrative that audiences can follow and feel.

Working in a context defined by violence and displacement demands more than technical excellence. It demands ethics, patience, and a method shaped around protection and trust. In collaboration with UNHCR, we followed a responsible process to document the crisis with care, ensuring that the film serves the people it represents and the truth it must carry.

Myanmar Forgotten Ethnicity is a record of genocide and forced displacement, but it is also a film about what survives after everything is taken. A documentary made from inside the reality it portrays, with cinematic craft and a commitment to responsible, high level storytelling.
