Mya Mya (Burmese: မြမြ) is a 2020 Burmese horror film starring Thinzar Wint Kyaw, Min Taw Win, Dee Dee, and Win Tha Pyay Tun.[1] The film, produced by Night School Film Production and Sein Htay Film Production, premiered in Myanmar on February 6, 2020.[2][3]

The character Mya Mya was based on the death of a feisty Yangon factory worker and strike-organiser before her death – from further humiliation is that, while haunting the men who raped and murdered her, she does not do so half-naked.[4]

Plot

The rape-revenge tale of Mya Mya was inspired by a viral Facebook video. The video features a young woman employed in a Yangon factory who, the viewer is invited to believe, is being possessed by the ghost of Mya Mya, a raped and murdered factory worker.
