From playgrounds to power cuts: life after the coup

Sofiia Season 1 Episode 57

Pokky once roamed the streets with her friends, but now, danger keeps her indoors. Living in Yangon, she considers herself lucky compared to those in rural villages, where the military presence is far more threatening. Yet, even in the city, daily life is shaped by power outages, leaving her with little to do but paint.

Why can’t she go outside freely anymore? How are her friends coping with the ongoing crisis?

In this episode, Sofia sits down with Pokky to talk about her childhood, the challenges of daily life, and her experiences in government school.
