Please Don't Say My Name is an audio-documentary featuring the stories of Burmese refugees in Malaysia. Journalist Karen Zusman spent a year and a half getting to know her interviewees and recording their stories. Many of them have been sold to traffickers by Malaysian Immigration Officials--and some of them were arrested while she was there. For protection purposes, their names have been changed.
