Description
| Summary: | Beyond the occasional news clip from Burma, the acclaimed filmmaker Anders Østergaard, brings us close to Burma's video journalists who insist on keeping up the flow of news from their closed country despite risking torture and life in jail. Armed with small handycams they make their undercover reportages, smuggle the material out of the country, and broadcast back into Burma via satellite or offered as free usage for international media.
