Following a two-year campaign to gain access to the rebels, Ramsay’s team provides unprecedented insight into the resilience of the resistance fighters and the hidden horrors they face.

From medics desperately working in the jungle by torchlight to avoid risk of attack, to scenes depicting undeniable evidence of war crimes, viewers will witness the harrowing realities of fighting an oppressive military regime from footage that is supporting ongoing investigations into human right’s abuses by the Myanmar government.

The panel will discuss the themes from the film and recall eyewitness accounts from their experiences on the ground in Myanmar and from some of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones.

Stuart Ramsay was named Foreign Correspondent of the Year at this year’s Society of Editor’s Media Freedom Awards in recognition of his reporting of the civil war in Myanmar.

About The Last Hospital: 30 Days in Myanmar 

Stuart Ramsay and his team embark on a month-long, undercover mission, highlighting the hidden struggle between Myanmar's resistance fighters and the oppressive military regime. 

In the aftermath of the 2021 military coup, Ramsay’s team spent two years trying to gain access to the secretive resistance movement. In 2023 they gained access, and spent 30 days embedded with the rebels, documenting their resilience, the horrors they face, and the war crimes committed - and denied by - the military junta. 

Much of their time was spent at the epicentre of this war: a hospital at the heart of the jungle. Quite literally the lifeblood of the resistance movement, this hospital is the last of its kind as hospitals and medical facilities have been strategically bombed and eradicated. Nestled beneath the jungle's canopy, medics work tirelessly and with limited resources to perform surgeries by torchlight, risking their own lives to save wounded fighters. 

The film's groundbreaking access also highlights the undeniable evidence of war crimes. Sky News is now working with international agencies who are using this footage in ongoing investigations into human right’s abuses by the Myanmar military government.
