Who´s in it?
What´s the plot?
Presented by The Co-operative and Dogwoof from BAFTA
Armed with pocket-sized video cameras, a tenacious band of Burmese reporters face down death to expose the repressive regime controlling their country.
Compiled from the shaky handheld footage, acclaimed filmmaker Anders Ostergaard’s BURMA VJ pulls us into the heat of the moment as the Video-Journalists themselves become the target of the Burmese government. The film plays like a thriller, and is all the more scary because it is real.
The event will be introduced with a live satellite broadcast speech by Dame Vivienne Westwood and a blessing by some Burmese monks; after the screening the live satellite broadcast will resume with a Q&A with the director, a member of the Democratic Voice of Burma and a representative of the Burma Campaign UK.
14 July has been designated Saffron Tuesday - come wearing the colour of the Burmese monks' robes to show your support for the oppressed people of Burma.
