The ethnic Muslims of Myanmar have long been victims of violence. Recently, international focus has been fixed on the Rohingya genocide. Extremist Buddhist monks like the Venerable Wirathu are adding fuel to the fire with their message of hatred toward this community. It is a paradox for this religion – who pretend pacifist - based on tolerance and nonviolence. Through interviews with the monk himself, the film strips his xenophobic, hate-filled message bare.
