Dear Mike,

HBO will screen the academy award nominated film Burma VJ tonight! Be sure to tune in if you have HBO or ask a friend who does if you can tune in on their TV. Check out the film's compelling trailer.

I saw Burma VJ for the first time one year ago and was extremely impressed and deeply moved. Since then I have revisited the film often. I continue to be captivated and inspired by the images of thousands of civilian protesters, emboldened by the selfless commitment of monks, marching on the streets of Burma and courageously demanding freedom. The film tells the riveting story of the 2007 Saffron Revolution through the eyes of undercover video journalists (VJs) who smuggled video footage of the popular uprising and the brutal military crackdown, risking torture and life in jail.

For those of you in the United States the film will air at 9:30 PM Eastern, 8:30 PM Central, 10:30 PM Mountain, and 9:30 PM Pacific Time. Click here for more broadcast details.

Inspired by the film and want to help? Email President Obama asking him to support a UN Commission of Inquiry for Burma!
