Western Myanmar becomes the setting for a wave of ethnic violence after a Buddhist woman is raped and murdered and three Muslim men are charged; a week later, ten Muslims are killed in a revenge attack, and the killing that follows is largely hidden from outside cameras. Al Jazeera investigates what happened next, tracing how Rohingya villages were burned and emptied, and interviewing Mohammed Islam, who fled to Bangladesh with his family and describes fields "filled with bodies and soaked with blood." The film lays out the scale of displacement: roughly 400,000 Rohingya now live in Bangladesh, stateless, since both Myanmar and Bangladesh refuse to recognize them as citizens. William Schabas, former president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, is interviewed on camera and argues that measures denying births, identity, history, and the right to remain amount to warning signs that make the word genocide worth using. The film treats that as an open legal question rather than a settled verdict.
