Gen Z's symbol of liberation?

Описание: Across Indonesia, Nepal, and most recently the Philippines, a flag depicting a cartoon skull in a straw hat has been flown by Gen Z protestors.

It comes from the hugely popular Japanese anime One Piece. In it, the flag is carried by a fictional band of Straw Hat pirates that stand up to corrupt and repressive rulers.

Rafqa talks to our south-east Asia correspondent Rebecca Ratcliffe about how its meaning has resonated across borders.
