Venerable Wirathu is a respected and highly influential monk in Myanmar. Unlike what is expected of a Buddhist philosophy leader - a religion based on a peaceful, tolerant and nonviolent way of life - Wirathu lives immersed in the deep waters of everyday racism and is the leader of the racialist party Ma Ba Tha. A disturbing portrait of the paradoxes of a country where hate speech and Islamophobia unfolds in violence and destruction; and the xenophobic demagogy in an unexpected environment: the Buddhist monasteries of Burma. 2017 Locarno and Cannes festivals.
