Breaking the Cycle captures the political awakening among Thais after the rise and fall of Thanathorn, a young politician who calls to end the cycle of coups d’etat. The film explores the 2019 election in Thailand, which marked the end of five years of full military rule and a new group of young politicians who campaign against an authoritarian constitution, sparking hope and a once-in-a-generation youth movement.

Screenings of the film will be held simultaneously at nineteen (19) university campuses across North America. Following the screenings, each campus will come together via Zoom for a discussion with the filmmakers, Aekaphong Saransate and Thanakrit Duangmaneeporn.

A virtual-only option for the event will take place via Zoom at https://bit.ly/BreakingTheCycleSimulcast. 

This program is presented in partnership with the Graduate Education and Training in Southeast Asia (GETSEA). For more information about the GETSEA and full list of sponsors/screening locations, visit https://get-sea.org/events/getsea-simulcast-film-screenings/.
