- Contents Summary
- WITNESS, in collaboration with Burma Humanitarian Mission and students at the Bard Human Rights Clinic, exposes the oppression of Karen ethnic minority civilians in Eastern Burma. This 6-minute video draws attention to the dire situation in Burma, where the military junta is systematically uprooting villages and brutalizing the civilian population. Foreign investment has provided much of the funding to fuel the repressive policies of the junta, and the video draws attention to the action campaigns of the leading advocacy groups pressuring companies to withdraw from projects in Burma.
