When Buddhist monks lead a massive but peaceful uprising against the Burmese military regime in late 2007, courageous young citizens armed with small handycams document the human rights abuses around them during the regime’s crackdown. Though risking torture and a life in jail, the video journalists (VJs) smuggle their tapes out of the country to foreign news agencies. Via satellite, the images are broadcast back to Burma. It is the VJs’ footage that makes the international community a witness of ongoing human rights violations and keeps the revolution alive on TV screens all over the world.
