Myanmar Premiere for Unbroken Ties
Myanmar Premiere of Unbroken Ties aka Myittar Celebrates a Landmark Night of Charity, Cinema, and Community
The Mary K. Yap Foundation, in proud collaboration with Mandalay Productions and a network of esteemed B2B corporate partners, successfully launched the Myanmar country premiere of Unbroken Ties aka Myittar—an award-winning film created with a purpose far beyond entertainment. Held at the prestigious Tamada Movie Theater in Yangon, the 780-seat venue was filled with supporters, family members, and special guests, including 80 orphaned children from our partner home, St. Mary’s. Their presence served as a heartfelt reminder of the film’s mission: to amplify awareness and support for Myanmar’s orphaned communities through the unifying power of storytelling.
The red carpet premiere welcomed distinguished members from the Archdiocese of Yangon, Academy Myanmar Award-winning directors, and respected actors and actresses from Myanmar’s entertainment circles. Their attendance elevated the event’s cultural significance and showcased strong intergenerational support for youth empowerment and humanitarian cinema. The event drew the attention of more than 20 prominent media outlets, all eager to document a historic evening dedicated to social impact, artistic achievement, and community unity. Unbroken Ties, aka Myittar, has already garnered critical acclaim internationally, receiving 11 awards across global film festivals—including two Audience Choice Awards—further underscoring its universal resonance and emotional depth.
“We are humbled by the overwhelming response to our Myanmar premiere,” said Peter K. Yap, Executive Director of the Mary K. Yap Foundation. “Unbroken Ties is not just a film—it’s a movement born from compassion. With every scene, we aim to open hearts and raise awareness for orphaned children who deserve hope, love, and a brighter future. This premiere marks a powerful step forward in uniting culture, philanthropy, and cinematic excellence for the greater good.”
Behind the scenes, a dedicated team of staff members and volunteers from both the Foundation and Mandalay Productions worked tirelessly to ensure every detail of the premiere evening was filled with joy, hospitality, and meaningful connections. From guest coordination and ushering to technical support and media relations, their efforts created an atmosphere of warmth and professionalism that left a lasting impression on all attendees. The event also served as a platform to announce future collaborations and philanthropic campaigns that will continue uplifting vulnerable communities through education, arts, and sustainable support.
