In the final part of the series, those at the forefront of the movement are using their knowledge to inspire the younger generations to take part. Yi-Yi explains that art is a weapon for change, and to use it as a way of self-defence to fight for real action. From street artist to punk bands, they urge everyone to use their art to voice their opinions and establish a connection between the people and the government. Since the documentary, Burma has released political prisoners and relaxed censorship laws which “looks like the seeds of change have taken root.”
