Aung San Suu Kyi je politickou osobnosťou, ktorej život bol hlboko formovaný odkazom jej otca, národného hrdinu Barmy, a jej vlastnou neochvejnou oddanosťou nenásilnému boju za demokraciu a ľudské práva. Po návrate do Barmy v roku 1988, aby sa postarala o svoju chorú matku, sa stala vedúcou silou v boji proti vojenskej diktatúre.

Jej vízia pre Barmu je založená na princípoch mieru a spravodlivosti.
