Gripping documentary that traces the 2007 uprising in Burma by telling the story of the undercover video journalists (VJs) that recorded the uprising and the subsequent brutal crackdown. With journalists barred from the country, the violent oppression of the monks would’ve been covered up but for the efforts of Burma’s undercover video journalists. You can become a fan of the film here: http://www.facebook.com/burmavjfilm | Gripping documentary that traces the 2007 uprising in Burma by telling the story of the undercover video journalists (VJs) that recorded the uprising and the subsequent brutal crackdown.
