Excellent film
Beyond Rangoon is one of my favorite movies. Through a fictional story of a young woman finding purpose again, it tells the true story of Nobel Peace Prize recipient and leader of the democratic movement, Aung San Suu Kyi, who was under house arrest from 1989 to 1995 and 2000 to 2002, was imprisoned in May 2003 and is currently under house arrest. In December 2004, the junta announced it was extending her detention for at least an additional year. Her supporters, as well as all those who promote democracy and improved human rights, are routinely harassed or jailed. This well-acted and beautifully photographed movie is a story that needs to be known. I cannot understand why it is not offered on DVD.
