<<5 stars-WHY IS THIS AMAZING FILM NOT ON DVD ? ???, May 15, 2004
Reviewer: Phaedra (CANADA) - See all my reviews
This is undoubtedly one of the best movies of all time. It has slipped below the radar of most people but once seen it is not easily forgotten. I have recommended it to many friends who have all been as equally moved and touched by the experiences and struggles of not only the Dr (arquette) but of the Burmese people.>>

Beyond Rangoon is the kind of movie you watch when you're looking for a cause, and it offers up a very worthy one. Though you'll be hard pressed to find others who share your interest in human rights violations in Burma, watching this film has the power to prompt you to seek them out.
This artfully rendered glimpse into the life of a wartorn country plunges the viewer right into the middle of the struggle without seeming overdone or forceful. It simply spreads awareness in a clear, thought-provoking way.

Beyond Rangoon communicates a great deal of factual information while remaining riveting throughout.>>
