Growing up in Yala, I-na Phuyuthanon thought she was used to hearing news of violence in the Deep South, but when her uncle was shot while stepping out to buy ice cream for his children, it changed everything. Before my uncle died, whenever I saw news about violence in the Deep South, I felt sorry for the people who lost their family members and after that, I let it go. However, when the tragedy happened to me, I am not used to it anymore, said I-na, filmmaker and a lecturer at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Srinakharinwirot University.
