The Lady is an epic love story about how an extraordinary couple and family sacrifice their happiness at great human cost for a higher cause. This is the story of Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband, Michael Aris. Despite distance, long separations, and a dangerously hostile regime, their love endures until the very end. A story of devotion and human understanding set against a background of political turmoil which continues today. THE LADY also is the story of the peaceful quest of the woman who is at the core of Burma’s democracy movement.
The Lady is a 2011 French-British biographical film directed by Luc Besson,[6] starring Michelle Yeoh as Aung San Suu Kyi and David Thewlis[8] as her late husband Michael Aris. Yeoh called the film “a labour of love” but also confessed it had felt intimidating for her to play the Nobel laureate.
