    "Road of Resistance"

    http://roadofresistance.com/the-road/

    In the summer of 2006, four friends from San Diego, California set out on a mission to expose the atrocities being done to the people of Burma, more specifically, the Karen people – one of the country’s largest ethnic groups. Burma has quietly been host to the world’s longest running civil war – waged between the country’s military dictatorship and detractors from the regime.

    Burma is a closed country known for strong penalties including imprisonment for people found inside its borders without the proper documentation. However, they knew that in order to capture the story they needed, they would have to sneak across the border through Thailand. With backpacks filled with borrowed film equipment they set out without a clue of how they would break inside a countryside filled with landmines, Burmese soldiers, and wet season torrential weather. They didn’t know what they would find, or if anyone would listen to their story when they returned.


    Its truly worth watching.

    the one thing i do not like is how they seem to take all the credit, not even mentioning the ppl that helped them get in and around burma

    the abstract sounds good but 12 mins into the movie i decided that they took waaaay too much credit for this, as they relied on another native organization to provide the means for them to fulfill their vision.
