Eric Szmanda Jorja Fox - Burma It Can't Wait Myanmar Cyclone
http://... Days for a Million VoicesThe issues the people of Burma/Myanmar are struggling with have been present for some time, since the military dictatorship took power and began a policy of isolationism, forced labor, systematic rape, politicalimprisonment, and destroying villages (creating more than 1 million refugees in the process.) On May 1, three days before the cyclone, the US Campaign for Burma, Human Rights Action Center and Fanista.com launched Burma: It Can't Wait - a campaign using celebrity voices like Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Silverman, and Eddie Izzard to shine a light on the junta's actions. You can see the new videos each day, as well as make a donation to support the cyclone relief efforts, at http://... .Talent: Eric Szmanda&Jorja FoxDirector: Chad EinbinderWriter: Lara MannProduction Entity: Looking Glass FilmsExecutive Producer: June GutermanHead of Production: Conn ReillyEditorial: Lost PlanetEditor: Bruce Herrman / Geoff HounsellProducer: Ali Maldonado / Romi LaineExecutive Producer: Betsy BealeOnline: Elephant PostOnline Artist: Chris HomelProducer: Ali Maldonado / Romi LaineDirector of Photography: Jason LehelCamera Assistant: Micah BisagniSound Recordist: Dennis HamlinHair/Make-Up: Carlene KProduction Assistant: Adam GiambatistaCamera Rental: The Camera HouseGrip Rentals: Luka LightingLocation: Hollywood Center StudiosGrooming talent arranged by: Margaret Maldonado AgencyAdditional equipment provided by: Line 204 Production RentalsExecutive Producers: Jack Healey, Jeremy Woodrum, Dan Adler, Prudence Fenton, John Solomon
Sad situation, but the only way to deal with people like that is force. The nonviolent way only works if it's advantageous for other countries. The whole point of nonviolence is to make the aggressor look bad in the global eye and justify the world applying pressure. The US has way too much on its plate right now to help burma. So, what about armed uprising? The CIA secretly funds the refugees and non-mil population. China then funds the military. A proxy war between the west and china.

Its sad but true, and while we all sleep at night safe and sound, the people in Burma aren't so lucky. It a shame I was not allowed to go to Burma as a student exchange because they feared for our lives, its a shame.

Why did this discussion turn into a bashing session? A lot of you missed the entire point of the message. First of all, the U.S. government did not start this campaign...the people did. People who feel that all human beings should have the freedom to express themselves, feel safe in their own homes and communities, and that children should be free to be children. This is a serious threat against humanity and the people you should be bashing are Than Shwe and his regime.

All of these videos were finished before the cyclone hit. They were shot in April, you dummy. Do they look 'live' to you? What have you done lately to help anybody? At least the 'celebrities' involved in the Burma Campaign are trying to help. And are actually doing something.

Everything Eric said here was true. Bleeding true. Burmese are helpless and hopeless. I just could not speak English as well as Eric. Thanks Eric.
