Fascinating report about the plight of the Karen minority in Myanmar. This great documentary was recently featured in YouTube's Project Report, a partnership with the Pulitzer Center (see link), a promising journalism contest intended for non-professional, aspiring journalists to tell stories that might not otherwise be told. I found this video report to be quite informative, and well researched -- and look forward to reviewing other segments from this worthwhile project.
