Former DPC Executive Director Rita Calvert is in Dallas for a visit from her home in Costa Rica. Please join her to view the film Beyond Rangoon and discuss the political and human rights situation of Burma. Rita writes of the film, "It is based on a true story where an American woman visiting Burma was caught up in the student demonstration in 1988, and experienced the brutality of the government. Since the cyclone hit Burma, and after the monks' demonstrations of last September, I feel more people could understand the situation better, and hopefully the world community will put more pressure on this illegal government which would not even help the people after the cyclone hit, and still holds Aung |San suu kyi in house arrest."
