The movie was an eye opener! I enjoyed watching the documentary, yet felt sorry for the lack of information I had about it.

The documentary was based on raising the awareness of the Burmese government, how brutal they were with their citizens and how difficult journalism is in the country.

Some of the images in the documentary were mind blowing, for example when the Monks formed a line of thousands of people protesting on the streets!
And some were violent, when we saw the foreign reporter get shot and beaten!

Overall , I agree with Richard Gere,I think the movie has to be watched and be shown to as many people as possible!

The film makers were able put together a great movie to show the way Burma’s lived. Moreover, I left the movie with so much information about this country which I didn’t even know it existed in the first place, I had more knowledge about the subject of Burma and what goes in there.

This document helped in raising awareness regarding the issue of brutal politics and government that the Burma’s are facing, which resulted from it the "Free VJs campaign" that is created to help this country. They have very brutal and controlling government, that monitors every single movement and specifically the images of their viciousness.

i did not watch the movie yet. however, i can see how hard it was for them to record this film. according to DrJ, some of men's faces "who did this film" were showed in documentary. by this documentary the government can look for them and arrest them.

from what i saw, it was really difficult to collect all these scenes together to come up with such sensitive movie which everyone is talking about. it is also a risk for all the people who participated in this movie because the government can arrest them anytime and some people already were killed. i think it is a great movie to show the whole world the pressure which is Burma facing.
