Manchester screening: They call it Myanmar

Date: Fri 19 July 2013

Join Manchester Amnesty for an evening of Burma-focussed film and conversation.

We'll screen feature documentary They Call It Myanmar. Shot clandes­tinely over a two-year period by Robert H. Lieberman, the film provides a rare look at the second-most isol­ated coun­try on the planet.

This unique fea­ture length doc­u­ment­ary is an impres­sion­istic jour­ney. Interviews and inter­ac­tions with more than a hun­dred people through­out Burma, includ­ing an inter­view with the recently released Aung San Suu Kyi, are inter­woven with spec­tac­u­lar foot­age of this little seen nation and its people.
