Watch Myanmar [SD]

Decades of isolation and corruption under the iron-fisted rule of dictator General Ne Win have caused Burma (now known as Myanmar) to plummet from being one of Asia's richest countries to one of the world's poorest nations. But beneath the continued oppression and misgovernment in Burma lies the vibrant world of the cult of the nat. Nats are somewhere between gods and spirits who suffered untimely deaths as victims of the injustice of Burmese kings of yore. At the mercy of an arbitrary junta themselves, it's not hard for the Burmese to identify with these supernatural figures and so, in spite of the fact that more than 80% of the Burmese population is Buddhist, belief in this ancient cult is still widespread.
