SYNOPSIS
The TA'ANG, a Burmese ethnic minority, are caught between a civil war and the chinese border. Since early 2015, heavy fights have forced thousands of children, women and older people on an exodus across the border, into China.

PRESS REVIEWS
"In this portrait of despair, Wang finds some radiant humanity in an unseen people. [...] The subject matter is as current a topic as anything in the news."
-- David D'ARCY, Screen
“Like any of his documentaries, Ta’ang is uncompromising. At the same time, the clarity of what Ta’ang wants to be as a film – and the degree to which it achieves this – results in one of Wang’s most memorable and impressive works to date.”
-- Jeremy ELPHICK, 4:3
