Burma. A Secret Genocide
Description
The Karen people are an ethnic minority living amidst ruby mines and valuable teak forests in Burma - and a people whom the military junta there has targeted for eradication. Since the Burmese capital was moved from Rangoon to rural Pynmana, close to the Karen homeland, troops have engaged in rape and systematic starvation as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign again them. This program follows a small contingent of the Karen National Liberation Army on a mission to bring aid to a threatened village, exploring reasons for the junta's actions and for why authorities in Burma and the West turn a blind eye to their atrocities.
