They Call It Myanmar

“THEY CALL IT MYANMAR” back by popular demand to Lincoln Center after 80-city triumph. Starts this Friday, October 19.

“The result is eye-opening and insightful.”

- Critics’ Pick: New York Times

“The documentary is as quietly enthralling as Myanmar’s people. Variously tough and poetic… Lieberman possesses a warm and genuine curiosity.”

-Los Angeles Times

“They Call It Myanmar: Lifting the Curtain is a thing of beauty; its cinematography, music and contemplative words make it not an angry documentary but more a hymn to a land that has grown out of the oldest cultures in Asia. With the new election news, the film has taken on an unexpected buzz.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

This stunning and unprecedented view of Burma offers a unique look at a country that has been off limits to the world for decades. Interviews and interactions with hundreds of people are woven together with rich, poignant imagery of this fascinating land that has been held hostage by a brutal military regime for 48 years. An extensive and rare interview with Aung San Suu Kyi guides the film through the millennia as she narrates the story of her people for the world to hear.
