BEYOND RANGOON POPULAR IN KACHIN STATE

Released by Information Service on Burmese Democracy Affairs on  March 30, 1996.

After several reports of wide acceptance among Rangoon residences since
late last year,  the movie "Beyond Rangoon" receives high popularity in
Kachin State as well, a reliable source said. A copy of this  movie was
brought into Northern Burma by a group of American tourists and was
delivered to their Kachin friends in January 1996. Since then, the movie
naturally spreads all the way to Myitkyina, the largest city of Kachin
State. After first show of Beyond Rangoon there in Kachin State, a
well-known Kachin gentleman reportedly commented that current political
deadlock in Burma should immediately be solved by means of sincere
dialogues.
