Into the current. Burma's political prisoners
Description
Into the Current is an important and suddenly very timely film, for after 22 years during which its subject was the main story in Myanmar, it now presents an alternative to the prevailing narrative. In the months since the country's first national elections in two decades and the release of Aung San Suu Kyi--the world's most famous political prisoner--there has been a growing international misconception that Myanmar has somehow turned a corner on human rights and political participation. With power and authority, Into the Current sets the record straight.
