Episode 1: Mie Tha Lah - Life in Burma and Thai Refugee Camps

Talking Burma

Jun 16 2024 • 1 hr 8 mins

In this pilot episode of Talking Burma, Napas Thein interviews Saw Mie Tha Lah. Saw Mie Tha Lah is a Karen-Canadian who came to Canada as a refugee in 2007. As a child growing up in Burma during military rule, he saw firsthand how the country's government enforced secrecy and control over its population. The kidnapping of his father sparked a sequence of events that changed Mie Tha Lah's life.


Talking Burma was initiated by the Burmese-Canadian community to explore the amazing lives, stories, and work of people who are from Burma. Stories from Burma as a whole are generally untold. So we are looking to change the narrative and bring these stories to the forefront. Subscribe to our podcasts on your favourite streaming app and check out our social medias.
