The country's leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, was jailed for 33 years in a series of trials that were closed to journalists and independent observers.
Civil resistance has continued against the military takeover, with torture, mass killings and the burning of villages by soldiers that are accused of cooperating with opposition activists.
On top of that, the junta generals are accused of organising the genocide of the minority Rohingya, forcing them out of the country.
Cordelia Lynch and her team were invited to film inside Myanmar by the military government.
