In August and September 2007 the people of Burma rose up to demand their freedom. This video is dedicated to them.

Some brief notes: the man making silent appeal in front of the US mission in Rangoon (just past the 1 minute mark) is in the back of the truck that drives away; the highlight at 5:48 shows Kenji Nagai photographing the demonstration near Sule Pagoda just before his death.
September Incident in Rangoon
This video shows an incident during the Burmese regime's crackdown on democracy demonstrations in late September 2007 in Rangoon. This took place in the vicinity of Sule Pagoda.
