They Call It Myanmar: Lifting The Curtain

The story of Burma, told with stunning footage shot clandestinely over a 2year period by filmmaker Robert H. Lieberman. It provides an astonishing and intimate look inside at what has been one of the most isolated countries on the planet, lifting the curtain on the everyday life of the people in this land that has been held hostage by a brutal and superstitious military regime for 48 years.

A revealing interview with Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi conducted just after her most recent release from house arrest is interwoven with extensive interviews and interactions with Burmese people from all around this incredibly diverse nation. The film, culled from over 120 hours of striking images, is an impressionistic journey that leads across the vastness of Burma. It traces the history of Burma from its beginnings in the ancient city of Bagan, through colonial times, recent uprisings, the devastating Cyclone Nargis that killed 150,000 people, and up to the present day.

Nacogdoches ISD, in partnership with the Nacogdoches Public Library, the Burmese American Association of Texas (BAAT) and the Network of Myanmar American Association (NetMAA), is bringing professional Burmese performers to Nacogdoches August 18. “Showcasing the Burmese culture through dance is just one way NISD can bring our diverse community together,” said NISD Communications Director Marty Prince. “NISD also believes that it is important to provide our community with educational opportunities that help all members of our community get to know one another.” Tin Maung San Min Win (“San Min”), artistic director of one of the most distinguished dance company in Myanmar, Thitsa Metta Shwe Mann Thabin, will dance as well as Wa Wa Myint, BAAT vice president for Austin. Mother and daughter team Ni Ni Win Shwe, a Burmese singer who has recorded 150 solo albums, and Valarie Naing, a child dancer who began performing a little more than a year ago, will perform together.
