but 1st since myanmar's military coup earlier this month hundreds of thousands of people have been protesting for democratic freedoms for the country's artists like the indie band side the fact it's freedom of expression that's at stake for a man darko c remembers the days before democracy when myanmar's military would only let the band play songs approved by state censors since the army seized back power they have been fighting to keep their voice. coming. from the army. we did not take she didn't know you. like turkish you're. right she. is a musician and record producer who lives in yangon he's part of me on mars sub culture scene which is taking a brave stance against the military the protesters are young angry and apparently

fearless oh we don't want to be seen as we more people have to join the protests we the students the young generation have a future we have to resist so we won't have to live under a military dictatorship. the film yangon calling from 2012 gave an indication of how strongly political myanmar's youth culture is it shows rebellious young musicians willing to take risks the punk band rebel riot and dark o's band side effect tell of life under dictatorship. when the film was made gen tonge was still at the helm of the largely isolated country but then came democratic reforms and me on maher began opening up in 2012 side effect were able to tour broad for the 1st time ever their gig in a berlin club was their 1st time playing in freedom other concerts in germany as well as france and the united states following. try i will

finish. only to be off. that's all right. gosh i wish to make you shocked that nobody could show it that kerry is going to. try just right there's still a chance for them just like generations to do show. and that's exactly what myanmar's young people don't want to accept recent weeks have shown how political rebellious and creative generations e. is they very quickly established symbols of protest such as the 3 finger salute from the hunger games film series and of course they use social media to organize protests and share the results of their protest culture like the song one day by punk band rebel riot a direct challenge to the country's military. and this song got hundreds of thousands of clicks shortly after its release revolution by rapper flo grows it

also takes a clear position opposing the current car rental because of the metal barriers that are settled and i've got to say our fault you know besides the jungle produced the song and he's taken the precaution of relocating with his family like so many others he's taking a huge risk by speaking out but he says it's worth it. i'm going to be honest i would rather i actually did it dear. for years britney spears fans have worried for the pop star's well being now their concern is going mainstream thanks in part to the film framing britney spears the new york times produced documentary examines spears' battle to end her father's court appointed control of her life there and dates back to the singer's public breakdown over a decade ago. britney was so serious and so focused this is a girl that's coming from strength the new york times documentary focuses on the

legal battle britney spears has been engaged in over her father's conservatorship jamie spears has been in charge of his daughter's business affairs and other areas of her life since 2008 1st thing is britney was able to make the judgment hey i get what's going on i get that i'm not going to be able to resist this conservatorship or avoid this conservatorship and that's a pretty sound judgment the 2nd thing was she said i don't want my father to be the conservator by britney but the documentary also looks at the media landscape of the 1990 s. and early 2000 its proper razzi relentlessly followed spears his every move and perceived missteps and entertainment news outlets eagerly reported and commented on her allegations of drug use mental health struggles and unfitness as a mother ultimately led to the conservatorship.

britney spears gained international fame in 1999 at the age of just 17 with the single baby one more time. but it was the start of a meteoric chart topping career that earned her millions and won her a fiercely loyal fan base that has been very vocal about their support for her especially in the wake of the documentary. yeah the media was just gotten and i think a lot of people are a genuine apology you know you ask a young girl if she's a virgin it's just not ok and not something that i would see happening in 2021. you know and the way that they they were massaging this tape to her and everything that they said about her they just always had a negative negative view point on britney no matter what she did she could never you know satisfy the general public you know i love britney and you know i've been better since i was you know little boy bringing me into the world to me to talk me

out of be you know independent. so i want her to be independent of her to be able to live her life on her own terms the conservatorship has now been divided between spears' his father and a trust company cheney spears says he's only looking out for his daughter's business interests but exact details of the arrangement are not publicly known britney spears's most devoted fans are calling for the conservatorship to be ended completely they're pleased that the new york times documentary has drawn increased attention to their campaign. and my colleague james jackson has more on this story james tell me a little bit about the impact that this documentary has had so far well considering at the moment it's only viewable in the u.s. i don't think it would be an exaggeration to say it's been a global hit because it's started to change the conversation about women in media as well as highlight saying britney struggle to get the conservatorship removed of course is a father's control over how to finance over her life and that's something that the

free britney movement has highlights. i mean it's i was sort of a fringe movement for many years. well that's how it seems beginning so again with a look kind of like kooky superfans maybe but actually it's a movement of people who are fighting for britney's rights to control her finances under control her annoyance so what what's new what do we learn from this documentary are there any revelations that were not out there already. so for people who've been following the story very closely i don't think there's much new in that but what this documentary is done the fact that it's by the new york times is credibility to fight for brittany's freedom to and it's also changed the conversation and made us look back at that era especially on how women were tried with figures like justin timberlake who was of course britney's ex-boyfriend now he's issued an apology because he in the past bragged about that sex life it claims in the documentary that he's sort of demonized and he's also said the this industry

sets up men particularly white men to succeed and women to fail reckoning with the ninety's and early 2000 what does how does brittany come across herself in the film so i think one really interesting thing in this film is this tension that comes across throughout britney's career between womanhood and go ahead now she's reference that in quite a lot of heads and it kept it's something that keeps on going. but in the scenes with her of a young girl she comes across as some mature and so in charge of her artistic career later on it seems like she's a fully grown woman playing a young girl how voice what really struck me was the voice actually changed quite a lot so when you see how speaking she has quite a deep louisiana quite a normal voice but then later on it sounds like she's kind of doing a bit of a baby voice and what i'm wondering is is this conservatorship stopping her

development maybe making her maybe aging revotes i don't know but it's great that we're having this conversation and that britney's case is being heard in the public james jackson thanks for checking that out for us. this weekend's germany kicks off celebrations marking 1700 years of jewish life in the country and the lead up we've been meeting jewish artists who live here including israeli filmmaker. her video installation at the jewish museum in berlin gives living faces and personalities to a people many germans only know from history lessons. and i want to start. this. religion with many faces yeah. installation mr bean the gathered presents germany's jewish population as colorful

and diverse. very often people have a very. strange image of jews. in germany sometimes some people think they're all very smart are all very rich very why. were you then he was born and raised near tel aviv was part of her family's history her grandmother's family was almost wiped out in the holocaust 3 of any has lived in berlin for 15 years she's among the 20 to 30000 israelis who have moved to the german capital. in something very fascinating about berlin because on one hand it's very. contemporary and on the other hand it's very haunted and you can you know they're really ghosts everywhere. where you have any move to germany her parents were horrified for them it was unthinkable to move to the land of the perpetrators but for her it was liberating. somehow being in berlin. opened

up something for me and suddenly i realized that with this you know this trauma i can deal much better i'm able to deal with it. and she dealt with that trauma in part by exploring the previously unknown and taboo subject of her family's history in her 1st film she follows the trail of a great uncle who was thought dead that great uncle never returned after being deported to both invited concentration camp through her research the filmmaker discovered he had actually started a new life in east germany with a german woman and a german name. it became much easier for me to think about these things when i realize it's not my job to forgive. it with the ghosts of the past put to rest the director's focus has now turned to her birthplace of israel in her latest film ray of any profiles her own generation of israelis. i'm finally

ready to deal with my israeli myth or. which is in a way in my biography much more complex. for ya alfredo veni and many other young israelis living in berlin means creating a freer life for themselves. that's it for this time for me and the whole culture team here in berlin thanks for watching he said.
