Powerful Burma Doc Plays on HBO

[Frank W. Baker]

I was riveted to this the other night: Burma VJ: Reporting From A Closed Country...told entirely through cell phone conversations and video shot secretly by citizen photographers. Most of us, and I bet, most of our students, know little if anything about Burma, because it is such a closed society. But this doc is eye-opening. Here is a link to a news story about it and here a link to the HBO site. I found most of it streamed on YouTube.
