Top line New
Zealand comedians Michele A’Court and Jeremy Elwood join
Amnesty International to speak out about the imprisonment of
fellow Burmese comedian Zarganar – an Amnesty Prisoner of
Conscience who was arrested on 4 June 2008, after he
criticised the government's handling of the cyclone relief
situation in interviews with foreign journalists. The plight
of this comic, who really did stand up to authority, is at
the heart of THIS PRISON WHERE I LIVE, a feature documentary
that tells Zarganar’s story and follows a fellow comedian
from Europe, Michael Mittermeier, who heads to Burma to find
out more about this remarkable man.
