Director Statement:
CLINGING WITH HATE is a five-act story that mirrors Shakespearean epics but in a contemporary and urgent reshaping of their themes. It is the voice of Myanmar, in a language the world will understand. It is a story about the sins of our fathers: how they are destined to return, again and again, until we break the cycle. It is not a story about hate, but of forgiveness. Above all, it is a story of hope. A hope for absolution, a hope for a new life. When we hate we hurt only ourselves. But when we forgive, we heal. This requires that we let go of hate. We must give voice to our past. CLINGING WITH HATE is a story I have seen one thousand times in my mind. Now we must see it on the screen.
