Documentary takes viewers inside “a prison without bars”

The International Wednesdays documentary series presents the 1996 film Inside Burma: Land of Fear at noon March 27 in the International Student Centre on the second floor of Laurier Hall.

Inside Burma exposes the history and brutality of one of the world’s most repressive regimes. Isolated for the past 40 years, since a brutal military dictatorship seized power in Rangoon, this rich country has been relegated to one of the world’s poorest.

Award-winning filmmakers John Pilger and David Munro go undercover to expose slave labour and oppression in a country Amnesty International calls “a prison without bars.”

International Wednesdays screenings are free and open to the public.
