| Summary: | Soros Documentary Fund
“Burma Diary” documents the revolutionary movement fighting for democracy in Burma and depicts how young people are affected by the human rights abuses of Burma's dictatorial military government. The film focuses on the story of Tint Aung, a young Burmese man who was actively involved in the protest movement while in college. He is forced to flee from his home and take refuge in the jungles of the Burmese-Thai border along with his wife and his two young daughters. As the film chronicles four harsh years of Tint Aung's struggle to survive, it also provides an insightful study of the hopes of and the obstacles facing the Burmese democracy movement. |
