We are proud to announce that Burma VJ, which premiered in Malaysia during FreedomFilmFest2009 has been nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 82nd Academy Awards.

Going beyond the occasional news clip from Burma, the acclaimed filmmaker, Anders Ostergaard, brings us close to Burma’s video journalists who insist on keeping up the flow of news from their closed country despite risking torture and life in jail. ‘Joshua’, age 27, is one of the young video journalists. With Joshua as the psychological lens, the Burmese condition is made tangible to a global audience so we can understand it, feel it, and smell it.

Burma VJ is available on DVD, you may purchase it it at Amazon.com. For more information about the film, please visit the official website here.
