 INSIDE BURMA (Land of Fear): Award-winning expatriate Australian 
 ---------------------------  journalist John Pilger and offsider David 
			      Munro secretly made this documentary in Burma, 
where a military dictatorship rules, in defiance of popular elections, 
the would-be prime minister under house arrest and her followers harassed. 
The doco might help prevent a repetition of the events of 1988, when the 
people rose up, only to be slaughtered. As many as 10,000 died.

 PORTRAIT OF COURAGE (Aung San Suu Kyi): Aung San Suu Kyi was elected leader
 --------------------------------------  of Burma in 1990, while held under 
					 house arrest in her Rangoon home. 
A prisoner for six years, she won the Nobel Peace Prize and became a 
symbol of the struggle for freedom all over the world. Although her house 
arrest was lifted in July 1995 she is still denied freedom of movement. 
Earlier this year John Pilger and David Munro smuggled their cameras into 
her house. This is what they filmed.
