INTERNATIONAL AWARD WINNING DOCUMENTARY FILM "BURMA VJ" CAPTURING UPRISING LED BY MONKS IN SEPTEMBER 2007 AT TORONTO HOTDOC FESTIVAL (MAY 4, MAY 6 AND MAY 10). BURMA VJ: REPORTING FROM A CLOSED COUNTRY Dir(s): Anders Høgsbro Østergaard Program: Special Presentations

Run Time: 85 | Denmark | Language: (Subtitled in English) Burmese English

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 hundreds of Buddhist monks, more than 100,000 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. Consisting largely of material shot by undercover reporters during the protests, Burma VJ follows the efforts of Joshua, the 27-year-old leader of the Democratic Voice of Burma, as he and a handful of others counter the propaganda of the military regime. An insightful and dramatic document of history as it unfolds. Co-presented with Rights & Democracy.
