Burma Soldier (video)

Description: 

?Burma Soldier? features a former Burmese army soldier who reminisces about life as a soldier and describes the atrocities he witnessed during his service in Kachin and Karen states. The Tatmadaw is recognized as the most brutal and repressive army in Southeast Asia, responsible for brutally suppressing pro-democracy demonstrations and clamping down on ethnic groups. The ex-soldier, Myo Myint, who now lives in the United States, offers a rare insight into the workings of the 400,000-strong Burmese Army. ...Secretly made copies of the documentary are being left in Internet shops and surreptitiously handed on to customers, according to one of the film?s directors, writer-photographer Nic Dunlop.
