Two weeks to go!

 

It’s two weeks until the nationwide Saffron Premiere of Burma VJ. On Tuesday, 14 July cinemas all across the country will be satellite-linked LIVE to BAFTA in London, creating a nationwide “Saffron Premiere”. You can view screenings and get your tickets here. 

Don’t forget to wear something saffron (or orange) to symbolise your support for the monks, journalists and general public who took part in the 2007 Saffron Revolution in Burma.

To help promote the film an iPhone application has been created to give background and context about the film, as well as a taste of the movie itself (trailer, clips etc).

The application is now available for free download from Apple’s Appstore here.

The clip above shows Burmese Monk Ashin Sopaka calling for people to support Burma VJ and for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi.

Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma’s pro-democracy leader and Nobel Peace laureate, symbolises the struggle of Burma’s people to be free. She has spent more than 11 of the past 19 years in some form of detention under Burma’s military regime. Last week Aung San Suu Kyi spent her 64th birthday in prison awaiting trial.
