Inside Burma (1996, 51mins)
Land of Fear

Inside Burma exposes the history and brutality of one of the world's most repressive regimes. Nearly the size of Texas, with a population of more than 40 million, Burma has rich natural resources probably unequaled in Asia. Yet Burma is also a secret country, isolated for the past 40 years by a military dictatorship that is harsh, bloody and uncompromising. More than a million people have been forced from their homes and untold thousands killed, tortured and subjected to slavery.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, daughter of assassinated independence leader Aung San, spent six years under house arrest. In 1990, her party, the National League for Democracy, won 82% of the parliamentary seats. The generals, shocked by an election result they never expected, threw 200 of the newly elected MPs into prison. Suu Kyi's party has never been allowed to take elected office.
