Santa Barbara International Film Festival 2012

INTO THE CURRENT: BURMA'S POLITICAL PRISONERS tells the story of Burma's unsung heroes - its prisoners of conscience - and the price they pay for speaking truth to power in a military dictatorship. Using footage secretly shot in Burma, the film uncovers the stories and sacrifices of ordinary people of exceptional courage and the leaders who inspire them. Former prisoner Bo Kyi and his underground team in exile and inside Burma work tirelessly and at great risk on behalf of their 2,100 jailed colleagues. While they and countless others fight on, the dream of a free Burma remains alive.
