We are proud of you Lamin Oo, director of Home Work film which won Special Mention Award this year WFF#4. An excerpt from President Barack Obama’s speech to ASEAN youth at the Yangon University: Your generation has a greater potential to shape societies than any generations that have come before because you have the power to get knowledge from everywhere. And you have more sophistication and experience than your parents or your grandparents... Lamin Oo uses his power to tell the stories of his fellow Burmese. He studied at Gettysburg College in the United States. The transformation he watched unfold through Facebook inspired a return home and make award-winning documentary about the plight of Burmese farmers. And he says, my country has been closed so long that there are a lot of stories to be told. So you, young people, have the chance to tell those stories…. There is so much to build here. In countries this, it is critical that you get involved in that way.”
