Watch The Teaser Trailer For THE LADY With Michelle Yeoh

From director Luc Besson (THE FIFTH ELEMENT) comes the first teaser trailer for THE LADY – the extraordinary story of Aung San Suu Kyi (Michelle Yeoh) and her husband, Michael Aris (David Thewlis). It is also the story of the peaceful quest of the woman who is at the core of Burma’s democracy movement. Despite distance, long separations, and a dangerously hostile regime, their love endures until the very end. 

Burma’s desperate struggle still goes on today and both “The Lady”, as she is popularly known and the country still refuse to give up their goal. Premiering at this year’s Toronto Film Festival on September 12th, THE LADY was written over a period of three years by Rebecca Frayn. Interviews with key figures in Aung San Suu Kyi‟s entourage enabled her to reconstruct for the first time the true story of Burma’s national heroine.
