Money Has Four Legs (Burmese: ခြေလေးချောင်း), is a 2020 Burmese comedy drama film. The film follows the journey of a young director who attempts to complete a feature film in Myanmar, and satirically depicts systemic issues in the country, including corruption and government censorship, and the state of the Burmese film industry.[1][2]
In the wake of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, the film's producer and co-writer, Ma Aeint, was detained by the military junta in June 2021, after becoming a target of the junta for her involvement in this film.[3][4] She was sentenced to 3 years of hard labour in April 2022.[4]
