Burma VJ: Reporting from a Closed Country

Using smuggled footage, this documentary tells the story of the 2007 protests in Burma by thousands of monks.
Going beyond the occasional news clip from Burma, the acclaimed filmmaker, Anders Østergaard, brings us close to the video journalists who deliver the footage. Though risking torture and life in jail, courageous young citizens of Burma live the essence of journalism as they insist on keeping up the flow of news from their closed country.
