Dear Colleagues:

Thought those of you with ties to Southeast Asia will enjoy the following film that a close documentary friend has produced. Below you will find a list of screening dates and links to news stories. The movie is spectacular and is up for several awards. Feel free to distribute this e-mail to anyone interested in the Karen, Burmese, and other groups associated with Burma / Myanmar. 

Best wishes,
Cathrene
