Thousands were killed in peaceful demonstrations in Burma. Over 2100 political prisoners including Burmese democracy icon Noble Laureate & Honourary Canadian Citizen Aung San Suu Kyi are in prisons.

Come and Watch “Burma VJ - Reporting from a Closed Country” Burma VJ recounts the efforts of a small group of independent video journalists who risked torture and life in jail to ensure the truth behind the country's 2007 political uprising was broadcast to the world. Led by thousands of Buddhist monks, hundreds of thousands of people marched peacefully against the military junta that has held the country in an iron grip for 40 years-and that cracked down mercilessly on the protestors and the monks. Foreign TV crews were suddenly banned from the country, leaving undercover video journalists armed with small handy cams to capture the truth behind the events. An insightful and dramatic document of history as it unfolds. Contacts: Zaw Wai Kyaw 416 358 2318, Aung Tin 416 912 6537
