About This Movie

My Buddha is Punk is a raw, gritty documentary that immerses you into the life of Kyaw Kyaw, a 25-year-old punk from Myanmar. The film captures this young man's relentless drive to carve out a punk scene in a country still grappling with its military past. The atmosphere feels heavy yet electrifying, as you watch Kyaw Kyaw and his band channel their frustrations into music and activism. It has this unpolished feel, reflecting the authenticity of the punk ethos. The pacing ebbs and flows, mirroring the struggles for personal and societal freedom.
