Freedom From Hate

101 East returns to Myanmar to investigate the religious hatred plaguing the country.

Religious and racial hatred simmers in the once repressed southeast Asian country of Myanmar. Optimism for the country's reforms is fast fading as tensions between majority Buddhist and minority Muslim communities have left over 250 people dead and displaced more than 140,000. In the newly liberated media, free speech has quickly turned to hate speech, drowning out moderate voices. Some say powerful interests are igniting decades of suppressed prejudice in order to derail the country's transition to democracy.
