Riverbank Arts Centre, in association with Burma Action Ireland.

A special screening of ‘Burma VJ’, the award winning documentary style film by Danish director Anders Østergaard.

This is a unique opportunity to see ‘Burma VJ’ with special guest speakers from Democratic Voice of Burma and Burma Action Ireland. 

This incredible documentary follows the events of September 2007, as the Buddhist monks of Burma stage peaceful protests against the ruling military and living conditions imposed by them. The film is seen through the lens of 'Joshua' and other video journalists, who risk their freedom and their lives to ensure that footage of the brutal repression of the protests by the Burmese military makes it out of Burma for all the world to see. The screening will be followed by a discussion forum with special guest Khin Maung Win of the Democratic Voice of Burma. The audience will have opportunity to ask questions raised by the film and will gain a better understanding of both the events of September 2007 and media censorship in Burma. 

Tickets only €6. To book contact Riverbank Arts Centre Box Office on 045 448327 or book online at www.riverbank.ie
