The Sad Story Of Myanmar s Last King | Burma s Lost Royals | Timeline

Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, was not always in a state of political strife. In 1885 the British army invaded Burma and deposed its King. He died in exile, ending a thousand years of monarchy. The royal family vanished, and the country was plunged into war and the longest military dictatorship of modern times. But after a century of silence they are back, and they’re on a journey to bring the family - past and present - back together. Filmed through three years of seismic change in Burma, this is the story of a family and a country emerging from the darkness. It s like Netflix for history...
