Also watch previous videos from Burma Issues including:

  • Always on the Run: In this video, three internally displaced persons (IDPs) talk about their hopes and fears for themselves and their children and the impact that being forced to flee for their lives has on their ability to nurture and care for their families. A week after this footage was filmed, the SPDC offensive reached the area and these IDPs were forced to flee, again.
  • Season of Fear: In this video, community members describe an encounter with the SPDC, their escape, and the limbo of their lives today, and one woman explains the toll that continual oppression has taken on her life. It is an impassioned plea by a community in need of external assistance.
