Was barred from entering the country of foreign television, but Joshua, a young journalist of 27 years, and his team worked to counter the military propaganda and keep the world informed about the situation inside the closed country.
When the September 23, 2007 the monks took to the streets, the protest became a political religion. Twenty years after the military coup and the last student uprising, Burma went into the street.

For a short time there is a power ineffable blur while watching the tapes that mañana.El power of rage, frustration for so many hardships, the removal of fear, hope ... the power of an image.
Quickly, the General realized that power and video-journalists became prey to eradicate. May abort the revolt succeeded, but failed that for a time, the cause of 55 million Burmese, was also my case.
