Event
Burma VJ
(Anders Ostergaard, Denmark, 2008, DVCAM, 85 min)
In 2007, over 100,000 protesters took to Burmas streets, signaling the start of a rebellion against the nations oppressive dictatorship. As the government effectively shut down all media and communication in and out of the country, members of the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) braved the streets to film the rebellion as it unfolded. Their powerful footage was then smuggled into Thailand to be shared with the rest of the world. Burma VJ is a gripping look at key moments caught on film by intrepid video journalists during this intense political struggle.
