Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this research is to examine the daily living situation (e.g., living quality, family issues)among Myanmar refugees,especially children, living in a refugee camp and in the resettlement country through observations gained from a ducumentary film (images and narrations).
This research was conducted at South Dakota in the United States,where approximately 2500 karen refugees have been resettled in the second year(H28).The analysis results were made into a documentary film "OUR LIFE 2 ー Part1 The End of My Dream", and the film was shown for karen refugees in the United States.
