Acclaimed filmmaker, Anders Østergaard follows Burma's video journalists, who risk torture and life in jail by keeping the flow of news coming out of their closed country.

Armed with small handycams, they smuggle out undercover reports, broadcast them back into Burma via satellite and offer them as free usage for international media.
