In Myanmar, the United Nations reports that 3 million people have been displaced due to the ongoing civil war. The 2021 coup intensified conflicts and worsened the humanitarian crisis, forcing at least a hundred thousand to seek refuge and medical care in Thailand. The Tak province, a key crossing point between the two countries, sees a rising number of new migrants (with 40% of women) crossing the border every day. In response to this health emergency caused by these large-scale forced displacements, the SMRU and M-FUND projects have concentrated their efforts along the border area.

This documentary has been done thanks to L'Initiative, a French facility implemented by expertisefrance726 , that complements the Global Fund against AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. The documentary has been done in collaboration with SMRU, and Dreamlopments . Post-production from Lalicorn Agenc.
