A Long Struggle
Armed with a spy camera and posing as a school teacher, filmmaker Lea Rekow secretly crossed the border of Thailand into Burma to document the startling resilience of the Burmese people who live under the rule of a corrupt junta. A Long Struggle documents the impact of landmines and the government's use of forced labor, torture, rape and drugs on the various ethnic minorities that continue to survive in the South East region of Burma. Traveling through the jungle, sometimes perilously close to enemy fire, Rekow has collected the stories of everyday people inside Burma- an all but lost people who are rarely able to talk to the outside world.
