How does frontline human rights documentation influence global policy?

Beyond Borders follows the Chin Human Rights Organization (CHRO), an indigenous-led NGO with UN ECOSOC Special Consultative Status, as it transforms grassroots evidence from Chin State, Myanmar into international protection and accountability action.

At the center of the documentary is CHRO’s landmark advocacy campaign that successfully challenged the 2018 UNHCR decision to withdraw refugee protection for Chin refugees — safeguarding legal status and security for thousands at risk.

Through strategic engagement at the UN Human Rights Council, evidence-based diplomacy, and survivor-centered advocacy, CHRO demonstrates how local truth can shape global justice mechanisms.
