BURMA VJ
June 5th, 2010
BURMA VJ- Premise by Netflix. “Filmmaker Anders Ăstergaard’s Oscar-nominated documentary profiles the courageous efforts of a renegade band of Burmese reporters who — in the face of a repressive regime and media censorship — refuse to be silenced. Calling themselves the Democratic Voice of Burma (aka the Burma VJs), these fierce “video warriors” place themselves in peril as they smuggle footage documenting their government’s abuses across the border — and to the world at large.” Great reviews.
6/10- Very good documentary about the photojournalists in Burma who, at great personal risk, attempt to expose the cruel military dictatorship to the rest of the world. TRDB.
