I'm going to simply link to the google video library where this mid-90's video resides. I hadn't paid a great deal of attention to Burma (Myanmar). Well, yes, I know that the elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been under house arrest for years, held by the generals who refused to relinquish power after her overwhelming electoral victory. This video by John Pilger (he's a sanctimonious prick, but he's _our_ sanctimonious prick) gives a pretty full picture of Burma's post war history and the truly monstrous actions of the military junta. Do have a look.
Burma, Land of Fear
Sorry about the so-so video quality, but that's a small issue with this piece.
