2009 HIFF Spring Showcase BURMA VJ
Armed with pocket-sized video cameras, a tenacious band of Burmese reporters face down death
to expose the repressive regime controlling their country. In 2007, after decades of self-imposed
silence, Burma became headline news across the globe when peaceful Buddhist monks led a
massive rebellion. More than 100,000 people took to the streets protesting a cruel dictatorship that
has held the country hostage for more than 40 years. Foreign news crews were banned, the
Internet was shut down, and Burma was closed to the outside world. So how did we witness these
events? Enter the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), aka the Burma VJs. Compiled from the shaky
handheld footage of the DVB, acclaimed filmmaker Anders Ostergaard’s BURMA VJ pulls us into
the heat of the moment as the VJs themselves become the target of the Burmese government.
