Kicking off More4's 'troubled nations' season, which will focus on Burma this month and next, Afghanistan in April and Zimbabwe in May, is the UK television premiere of ground-breaking documentary Burma VJ by filmmaker Anders Østergaard, an undercover video journalistic account of the 2007 monks' uprising in the streets of Rangoon.A group of journalists risked life and limb for the footage they then covertly jettisoned out of Burma to be processed in Oslo, Norway, to then be beamed back into Burma via satellite in a bid to deliver the truth of the uprisings to the population, as well as around the world, to keep awareness alive.
