BURMA VJ: REPORTING FROM A CLOSED COUNTRY (Burma VJ: Reporter i et Lukket Land) (2008) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Anders Ostergaard

 

"Edited together from guerrilla archive footage shot from the closed country of Burma, where the outflux of information is widely censored, this is a priceless inside look at a people’s attempt to revolt the oppressing totalitarian regime. 

 

As a first hand documentary, this is a truly shocking and direct account of the violent acts committed by the police and military officials towards the people of Burma, whose only support comes from monks. The most precious thing about BURMA VJ by OSTERGAARD is that it shows an inside glimpe at the resistance from the perspective of those whose only hope lies in smuggling footage that is ignored and forbidden by the official Burmese media.
