[edit] International release
According to director Zin Yaw Maung Maung, he had to work in conjunction with the Ministry of Information to help get the film onto the international circuit. He was quoted as saying “I know it is out of the question to get the money back that was invested in this film [more than US $160,000] if we only show it in Myanmar,” he said. “That is why I decided to distribute it in foreign countries.”
