A Thousand Fires

Thein Shwe and his wife Htwe Tin work in the unregulated, hand-drilled oil fields of Magway, central Myanmar. They want what every parent wants: to give their children a better future, and to put their youngest  son Zin Ko Aung through school. But Zin Ko Aung doesn’t want to study. He wants to be a football player. He dreams of a future, in a new Myanmar, that was unimaginable to his parents when they were growing up.
