The Lady has already seen Michelle Yeoh banned from Burma, with the military government not keen on her playing Nobel Prize winning political leader and activist Aung San Suu Kyi. Aung is famed for having spent 15 of the last 20 years under house arrest due to the miltary rulers of Burma not taking kindly to her pro-democracy campaigning, but the movie will focus on the years between 1988 and 1999. During this time she returned from Oxford to Burma to visit her sick mother, but decided to stay and fight for democracy, leaving her husband, Michael Aris, behind in England after he was refused entry to Burma. The film will follow her valiant struggle, which involved her political party winning an election but then not being allowed to take office by the military junta that runs Burma, as well as being under house arrest for decades for very dubious reasons. The Lady will build up to the point when her husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. It’s believed that at that point, Burma’s leaders offered her the chance to leave the country, but if she did, she’d never be allowed to return and continue her fight.
