Screening: Burma’s Secret War November 20, 2006

Followed by Q&A with journalist Evan Williams and producer/director Sarah MacDonald

In Burma’s Secret War journalist Evan Williams, who is banned from entering the country after reporting on it for more than 10 years, goes undercover to investigate the mass ethnic cleansing, forced labour and vicious clampdown on political opposition which characterises the dictatorship.

This documentary exposes the new surge in violence inflicted on the Burmese people by their own regime.

Enslaved by a brutal military dictatorship, which wields absolute power, Burma is a secretive state where suppression reigns and dissent is not tolerated. It is a country where the democratically-elected leader, Aung San Suu Kyi is kept under lock and key while the junta prospers from international trade and tourism.
