It relies entirely on documentary footage shot by undercover reporters which has been pieced together to form a picture of the events that took place over a few months. It covers the initial protests, which broke out in response to a rise in fuel prices, to the brutal crackdown by the authorities in response.

All the years of being under house arrest and all the lost of loved ones in the uprising will be of nothing. :(.

Aung San Suu Kyi will be gone and
She’ll be on a T-shirt
The marketing’s good

Monks are dying
Soldier children crying
We’re playing bubbles
With four years old curls

Torture, drug deals
Finance our dreams
Why should we care ?
The stock market’s good

Petrol’s booming
Generals’ wooing
Trucks are looming
In Rangoon

We know your faces
Come out and die
And welcome the
Tourist under the
Burmese sky

But tomorrow Christine and
Me’ll feels just the same
With our china tea

2008. “Amnesty report”. Burma
The eighth to the eighth of eighty eight the people’s uprising was bloodily and brutally repressed by the military junte
Twenty years of prison and torture would follow
In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi and her Democratic Party
Won the general election by eighty three per cent
In 1991 she won the Nobel peace price
Seventy thousand children are soldiers
Ten children out of a hundred don’t get to live to five years old

Aung San Suu Kyi will be gone and
She’ll be on a T-shirt
The marketing’s good

Monks are dying
Soldier children crying
We’re playing bubbles
With four years old curls

But tomorrow Christine and
Me will feel just the same
Maybe shed a tear in our china tea

But tomorrow the world will see
We did nothing for Aung San Suu Kyi

2008 Amnesty report, Burma :
Burma is one of the poorest countries in the world but one of the richest in jewels, drugs, teck, petrol, natural gas, Total’s pipe lines give the military junta more than a million dollars a day.
Burma has one of the worst records for child mortality and aids.
The international comity of the Red Cross withdrew from Burma because it could not fulfil its mission.
No one knows the numbers of the tortured, the numbers of the dead.

This song is dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi, her democratic party,
the monks, the students, the people of Burma, the children.
This is a plea For Aung San Suu Kyi.

[Short Background: Aung San Suu Kyi has won election in 1988 but after brutally murdering and forcing her followers voting for freedom of Burma, the military regime took over even though they've lost the election back then. Worst, they put a woman under house arrest for that many years in fear that she will become free and free Burma. (Check other links in the blog for information and videos regarding 1988 Bloody Day, Burma, cruelties of the regime or more about Aung San Suu Kyi)]

***A MESSAGE FROM ATHEIN***

It was for so many reasons that I left my regiment and my friends, but this does not mean that I ran away from my country. I have always wanted to do something for my country, but I don’t know what the right way is for me to do this. Before, I believed we needed international help for Burma, but I haven’t seen any help from the world. There are only two choices left for every life in Burma, become a fugitive and rebel against their law, or obey their rules and stay with their ruling one-power government.

I already donated my life for my country, and now I have decided to do something that nobody else would do. Maybe someone has already done this, maybe this is the first time, but I am not crazy and I am going to do this until my job is done. I have decided to march to New York from my city.

I live in Portland, Oregon, about 2,500 miles east of New York by plane. Walking this journey will be at least 3,000 miles. It won’t be easy to get there like sitting on a plane is, I know and understand that I will be walking for more than six months, and I don’t know what I will have to face on my journey.
