Twilight over Burma--rare--Mrs Inge Sargent, the former Hsipaw Mahadevi (Queen's) true story.

I knew her and her husband Tad Sargent. They were a beautiful couple. I stayed with her several times when they lived in a house and last saw them in 2016 when they were in senior housing.

I interviewed her several times,once from the radio station when Dr.Michael Aris, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's husband passed away.

I miss them--very brave abd devoted couple.

Rest in Protest.

Her memoir of the same name is published by University of Hawaii Press.

Movie still.
