Description 1 online resource (71 minutes) Summary Burma Soldier provides a rare glimpse of a brutal dictatorship seen through the eyes of a courageous former soldier who, quite literally, swapped sides. For Myo Myint is no ordinary refugee. As a young man, he joined the Burmese army, which has ruled the country for almost 50 years; he witnessed atrocities committed by his comrades against his own people. Later, he became a democrat, joining the mass movement led by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi; he was jailed and tortured. He fled Burma with a unique and heartrending story Notes Title from resource description page (viewed July 22, 2020) Performer Narrator: Colin Farrell Notes In English and Burmese with English subtitles Subject Democratization -- Burma Soldiers -- Burma -- Biography Dictatorship -- Burma Democratization Dictatorship Politics and government Soldiers SUBJECT Burma -- History -- 1948- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85018123 Burma -- Politics and government -- 20th century Burma -- Politics and government -- 21st century Subject Burma Genre/Form Biographies Documentary films History Nonfiction films Documentary films.
