12:04Now PlayingThe arrest of Swiss filmmaker Didier Nusbaumer, along with 13 locals including a 12-year-old girl, for allegedly insulting Buddhism, has ignited a firestorm in Myanmar, a country where religious nationalism is on the rise. Nusbaumer's 75-minute film "Don’t Expect Anything" delves into the intriguing narrative of a girl who discovers her past life as a revered spiritual master. However, the film was met with outrage from Buddhist nationalists who accused it of degrading monks' "dignity and morals". This incident, reported by state-owned newspaper Myanma Alinn, underscores the tension between artistic expression and religious sensibilities in a nation where 90% of the population identifies as Buddhist. Amidst the backdrop of a military junta, which has ruled since overthrowing the democratically-elected government in 2021, Nusbaumer's arrest raises serious questions about the limits of freedom in a country grappling with its identity.
