THE BAD MAN

Myanmar has the world’s longest-running civil war, which has gone on for over 70 years. The Kachin Independence Army (KIA) is the ethnic rebel group most vehemently opposed to the ruling military junta. The protagonist of The Bad Man was conscripted into the KIA as a child, transforming him from an innocent kid into a ruthless man who talks about killing without hesitation.

緬甸克欽獨立軍是與緬甸軍政府對立最深的少數民族，過去因分離運動而長期遭緬甸軍政府鎮壓。紀錄片《惡人之煞》主角曾為克欽獨立軍的一名小兵，他少年時期被克欽獨立軍抓去當兵，從一個懵懂無知的青年變成把殺戳當作兒戲一般談笑的惡人。本片記錄著這位克欽小兵的過去，也記錄緬甸已打了七十多年的內戰，而戰爭目前依然持續中。
