The Last Burma Star pays tribute to the last surviving veterans of the Burma Campaign, and particularly those from Burma (now Myanmar) who fought alongside British and Commonwealth forces in the region, a brutal conflict that was crucial to Allied victory in the Pacific. Major Levison Wood (whose grandfather fought in the Fast East campaign) and historian Alex Bescoby go in search of the last surviving veterans of the war in the East and grant them proper recogniton of their service. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is the film's official Legacy Partner. The partnership is part of its plans to advance the organisation’s global commemorative storytelling - as well as spotlighting Kohima War Cemetery, the documentary illuminates contributions often overlooked in mainstream historical narratives. The documentary production has been delivered with additional support from Help for Forgotten Allies, The Burma Star Memorial Fund, The Gurkha Welfare Trust, and Royal British Legion Industries.
