The Southeast Asian nation of Burma (also known as Myanmar) has been under the control of a military dictatorship since a coup toppled the elected prime minister in 1962. With Burma's press and mass media under the control of the military government, dissent has had little opportunity to take hold in the country, but that began to chance in 2007; a band of Buddhist monks stepped forward to lead a revolt against the state, and as news spread about their actions, as many as 100,000 people took part in protests against the oppressive and violent leadership. The official state media ignored the uprising, but a new breed of reporters were at hand to cover the revolution -- the Democratic Voice of Burma, also known as the Burma VJs, a handful of young video journalists armed with hand-held digital video cameras. The Burma VJs filmed the protests as well as violent acts committed by police and military officials, and then smuggled the footage to colleagues in Thailand, who then passed their images on to news organizations the world over. Filmmaker Anders Østergaard offers a look at how new technology is pressed into the service of a people's revolution in Burma VJ, a documentary which tells the story of the Democratic Voice of Burma and their role in the battle for a free and democratic Burma. Burma VJ received its American premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

New Review For Movie Burma VJ: Reporter i et Lukket Land (Burma VJ: Reporting from a Closed Country)
Burma VJ celebrates the courage of the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), a group of underground journalists who risked their lives to document the 2007 uprising against the junta.Leslie Felperin-Variety
Burma VJ would be even more intense without its early announcement that some scenes have been restaged, putting the viewer in a regrettably uncertain relationship to what follows.
Rob Nelson-Minneapolis Star Tribune
Narrated by a frightened journalist who trembles as he accumulates forbidden footage and provides a historical viewpoint, "Burma VJ" uses shocking video images and reconstructed scenes to create a coherent, mostly chronological account of what happened.
John Hartl-Seattle Times
In traditional terms, this is hardly a film at all. It's more like a bootlegged YouTube video.
Jonathan F. Richards-Film.com
Although directed by Denmark's Anders Ostergaard, the true heroes of Burma VJ are the cadres of guerrilla video journalists who secretly filmed the junta's brutal suppression of the popular revolt in the fall of 2007.
Michael Posner-Globe and Mail
An awe-inspiring documentary by Denmark's Anders Ostergaard that tracks how the news escaped in 2007 during Burma's civil uprising.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star
No matter how many times anyone tries to appropriate shaky camera techniques, they'll never recreate anything as real as a reporter fleeing heavily armed police.
Mike Edwards-What Culture
Mesmerizing, Oscar-nominated inside look into the 2007 uprising via the cameras of 30 or so underground videographers who risked torture and prison to record the chaotic events surrounding the rebellion of Buddhist monks against the repressive military
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
...pummeling, electrifying
Chris Barsanti-Filmcritic.com
It's powerful, to be sure, but the most interesting scene is one in which two reporters discuss the impact of their work; are they really changing anything?
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
Events are movingly and fortuitously recorded here, but the world's attention has shifted to other media moments.
Donald J. Levit-ReelTalk Movie Reviews
If it is rather more interesting as a social and political document than a cinematic one, well, politics and society can be important, too.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
The word 'brave' is thrown around too liberally in Hollywood. The folks behind Burma VJ are the bravest souls you'll see on screen this year.
Christian Toto-What Would Toto Watch?
the footage, with the picture jumping as frenetically as the protesters being filmed, brings home as nothing else quite can the energy and the danger of the events depicted
Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews
Ostergaard could have just thrown this together like coleslaw and Burma VJ still would be an important documentary.
Jim Slotek-Jam! Movies
Watching these brave amateurs is pretty compelling, which is a good thing.
Jeff Vice-Deseret News, Salt Lake City
Watch this and you will long remember Burma - and briefly join a revolution.
Tim Nagle-Times [UK]
Demonstrates what can be done through the ingenious use of small cameras and mobile phones by brave, resourceful opponents of repressive regimes, and it deserves to be shown widely.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
Burma VJ (Video Journal) is as gripping as any Hollywood thriller - and as heartbreaking as any weepie as we watch the celebratory mood that briefly blossomed in Rangoon give way to appalling violence.
David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK]
