Another film that will make you thankful to live in the United States. This is harrowing viewing. The Burmese monks prove themselves a force to be reckoned with. Their appearances en masse in "Burma VJ" are exhilarating. The military regime in Burma is shown in all its oppressive ignobility. One hopes that this brave documentary, shot by endangered Burmese citizens, will bring truth to light for a wide, global audience.
