SUMMARY:Burma VJ\:  Reporting From a Closed Country
DESCRIPTION:Come see the film "Burma VJ\:  Reporting From a Closed Cou
 ntry.” The film will be followed by a discussion with a Czech journa
 list who was in Burma right before the failed Saffron Revolution\, and
  who know works for Czech Television. \n\nSee http\://burmavjmovie.com
 /\nBurma VJ\, which has won tons of documentary and human rights award
 s\, is about clandestine video journalists inside  Burma\, which is ru
 n by a repressive totalitarian junta. The film\, which mesmerized me l
 ast year at the One World Festival here\, shows how these brave journa
 lists risk their lives to film a growing revolution-peace-democracy mo
 vement among the monks\, one that is eventually crushed. Their horrifi
 c fate is of course also the fate of the journalists. It is a suspense
 ful\, extremely colorful and engaging film\, like a great spy film\, e
 xcept it is true! It is also heartbreaking but rather than impelling y
 ou to misery\, it makes you want to do something. And it is about jour
 nalism\, and how without human rights\, the lines between journalism a
 nd advocacy blur. \n\nThe NYTimes calls the film\:\n"a rich\, thought-
 provoking film not only because of the story it tells\, but also becau
 se of the perspective it offers."\nMore reviews at http\://www.rottent
