Myanmar’s Jungle Warriors

A year after Myanmar’s military coup upended the nation, the country has slipped  into chaos. The People’s Defence Forces—a scrappy coalition of fighters—have become the newest group resisting the military.

Solomon travels to the Thai-Myanmar border to find out how these new soldiers are trapped in the prolonged battle.
