As the world continues to follow the plight of the Rohingya
Muslims in Myanamar, condemnation has been heaped on the Burmese
authorities for not doing more to protect them from attacks from
Buddhist militants. Hardtalk’s Zeinab Badawi speaks to the
acclaimed Swiss film director Barbet Schroeder. His latest
documentary is about an influential Buddhist monk in Myanmar who
uses strong anti-Muslim rhetoric in his speeches and writings.
Barbet Schroeder has made the subject of evil the focus of many
of his documentaries and films. He has worked in Hollywood and
Europe and has been directing films for nearly 50 years. What has
he learned about the nature of evil?
