In Myanmar, ever since the military coup in February 2021, the Chin people have taken up arms to defend their territory, their identity and their ideals against the all-powerful junta that's now ruling the country.

In the mountains of western Afghanistan, away from the world and the cameras, a merciless war is being waged, sparing no civilians. The Chins, a Christian minority, are resisting and against  the junta that’s controlling a large part of their state. In the depths of the mountains bordering India, they have set up a training camp to gather up a resistance army. Armed with light weapons and unfailing determination, hundreds of young people have given up their jobs and studies to take on the Burmese forces in the field. Far from their bases, however, the junta's military are struggling to advance and, in the face of resistance, are unable to impose their control. In this war, civilians are paying a heavy price: victims of the junta's aerial bombings, thousands of villagers have seen their houses destroyed and are forced into internal exile. With little means but plenty of courage, the Chin minority continues to stand up to a regime they have sworn to bring down.
