20:15 The Venerable W - Barbet Schroeder

(FR/CH, 2017, 100’, OV, st. FR)

In Burma, the ‘Venerable W.’ is a highly influential Buddhist monk. To meet him is to find yourself at the heart of everyday racism and to see how Islamophobia and hate speech are transformed into violence and destruction. Yet it is a country where 90% of the population are Buddhist, adherents to a religion founded on a peaceful, tolerant and non-violent way of living.
