 Htoo Htoo is a Burmese freedom fighter who, after being imprisoned and tortured for three years in a military jail, has escaped to Australia and started a new life. He has been granted citizenship and started a family with his partner Xang who is from Thailand. For the first time he can have a life of peace and freedom. Despite this, Htoo Htoo is still not free. His heart and mind are still troubled by Burma s continued oppression. So much so that he will risk everything to help his people to freedom. Htoo Htoo wants to raise awareness in Australia about Burma s plight. To attract media attention he plans to publicly chain himself in heavy leg irons for a month, just as he was chained for seven long months in prison. He hopes it will encourage the Australian government to impose economic sanctions against the dictatorship. But there s a problem. Htoo Htoo s radical campaign, if it is successful, may see his family in Burma jailed as subversives. Not only that but his new family in Australia are struggling to understand his one-man campaign to free Burma. With the strain of nursing their new-born son Xang wonders why Htoo Htoo isn t more focussed on his family duties here. The problem seems to be is that he is struggling to live in two worlds; one free, the other in chains. This is a story about the personal sacrifices one man is prepared to make to continue his country s struggle for freedom.
