Burma has been under military rule for decades, and Amnesty International calls it "a prison without bars." Journalists John Pilger and David Munro travel into the country undercover, filming without government permission to get past the official tours usually shown to outsiders. What their cameras find includes forced labor gangs building roads and hotels ahead of a state-sponsored tourism push, work crews assembled to sell foreign investors an image of order the country does not have. Pilger and Munro talk to people living under surveillance and fear of arrest, and lay out the scale of displacement the junta has caused, with the United Nations estimating over a million people driven from their homes. The film treats the tourism and investment drive as the story's sharpest irony: a government using slave labor to polish its image for the same foreign money it needs to survive. It won the International Documentary Association's award for risk journalism, a measure of how dangerous the filming itself was.
