Dying for Democracy

A report from Yangon, the largest city in Myanmar, as young protestors risk everything to defy the military junta's coup. As the death toll in the city mounts, cameras witness the early optimism and hope of a protest movement disintegrate as the security services launch a brutal crackdown on unarmed civilians. The Myanmar government says it is responding to protests that harm the stability of the nation, using non-lethal force. However, as pressure to release political prisoners and journalists intensifies, so does the bloody crackdown.
