Wiki.
Burma VJ: Reporting from a Closed Country (Danish: Burma VJ - reporter i et lukket land; Burmese: ဘားမား ဗီဂျေ, romanized: bharrmarr begyaay) is a 2008 Danish documentary film directed by Anders Østergaard. It follows the Saffron Revolution against the military regime in Burma. The "VJ" in the title stands for "video journalists." Some of it was filmed on hand-held cameras. The footage was smuggled out of the country, physically or over the Internet. Other parts of it were reconstructed, which caused controversy.
