- The documentary zooms in on how they've navigated life in the South-from starting school without knowing English to seeing the toll factory jobs took on their parents to forging a future influenced by Georgia and Burma.
- Tomorrow Pictures and 285 South present this documentary about how three young Burmese in Georgia have navigated growing up in the South. Since October 27, 2021, fighting between Burma's military junta and a coalition of armed resistance fighters has escalated. After being forced to relocate from their war torn country of Burma, refugees migrated to camps in Thailand, and relocated once more to Clarkston, Georgia. For more than a decade, Burma has consistently been one of the top three countries of origin for refugees arriving in Georgia. Han and Wah left Burma 17 years ago. The initial years in Metro Atlanta weren't easy for them and their family - they encountered many of the challenges that so many newly arriving families face - language barriers, navigating schools, and building a life here with the current state of Burma ever present in their minds, hearts, and phones. Kpor Shee and her family resettled in Georgia in 2010. Upon the initial struggle of resettlement and adjusting to life in Clarkston, we follow Kpor through her struggles and achievements in education. Learn more about Han, Wah, Kpor, and other young Burmese who grew up in Georgia, in the upcoming documentary "The Third Country," produced by Tomorrow Pictures in partnership with 285 South, with support from The Pivot Fund.
