What is Le vénérable W. about? Toggle content

The Venerable W. is a documentary that delves into the life and influence of Ashin Wirathu, a radical Buddhist monk in Myanmar. Through his fiery rhetoric, Wirathu has sparked violence and persecution against the country's Muslim minority, perpetrated by both his followers and members of the government.
