Synopsis:

Breaking the Cycle takes us on a gripping journey through Thailand’s political landscape, following the remarkable rise and fall of Thanatorn, a charismatic young politician. Against the backdrop of the 2019 election, which marked the end of five years of military rule, the film explores the emergence of a new generation of passionate politicians who challenge an authoritarian constitution. As Thanatorn and his allies strive to break the cycle of coups d’état, a powerful youth movement takes shape, igniting hope and inspiring change. Through intimate interviews and captivating footage, this documentary captures the essence of Thailand’s political awakening and the enduring spirit of its people.
