The Siamese Dreams
Iv Charbonneau Ching
2018 - 75 min - Video Full HD - Couleur - France

Aum Neko is a young transgender Thai activist who became one of the main targets for the military junta when they seized power in Bangkok in May 2014.
For this creative documentary we followed her in the midst of her rapid rise to fame, of her fight for democracy, of her life in clandestinity and then into her flight from Thailand after the military took power.
The movie delves into the complex relationship between Aum Neko’s own personal destiny and that of the major historical crisis that has been shaking Thailand over the past few years, along with the mental representations of the Thai society. The music was composed by Wilfried Paris.
