Rambo
Thousands took to the streets
and thousands kill...
Many peaceful protesting monks have been
killed, some burnt alive and others drowned..
Foreign journalists have been shot and caned..
Thousands of villages have been destroyed.
Rape and torture are a daily occurrence.
In Burma there are more landmines,
than anywhere in the world.
Young men are bitten and forced into
the army. Many as young as 12 years old.
Beheadings and mutilations
are common.
The Karen people comprising mostly of poor Christian
farmers have been singled out for extermination.
The military government wants many of
the abundance resources on the Karen land.
The bloody military campaign against the Karen
people has been going on for almost 60 years.
The longest radical war in the world.
Ready. Send them out!
Move!
Shoot them all!
OK.
Looks like dangerous work.
I am Michael Burnett.
Do you have some time to talk?
Won't take too long, I promise.
I was told it might be possible to
rent your boat. We like to do that.
Is that possible?
We need to get up river.
Where are you going?
Into Burma.
Burma is a war zone.
That's what people call it.
But it's more like genocide than war.
This will be my fifth trip in,
we are aware of all the risk.
I don't go that far north.
Let me explain our situation.
Our church is part of the Pan-Asia
ministry..
located in Colorado.
We are all volunteers, whom
around this time of the year,
bring in medical supplies,
medical attention..
prayer books and support to the
Karen tribe's people.
People say you know the river
better than anyone.
They lied.
What I am asking is, we compensate you...
for a few hours of your time..
to help change people's lives.
Are you bringing in any weapons?
Of course not.
You are not changing anything.
It's thinking like that,
that keeps the world the way it is.
F..k the world.
- Let's go
- Why?
He's not interested.
- Let me try.
- Sara...
It'll be an interesting trip going up there.
What do we have to lose?.
Let me try.
Sarah.
Hello?
I am Sarah Miller. Hope you don't
mind me coming back here.
The man you were talking to...
I wasn't talking to anybody.
Ok, the man that was talking to you..
asked if we could hire your boat
to go up river.
and you said no, why?
Can't help you out.
If you have some reasons,
mind if I heard them?
Go home.
Why did you come back?
Waiting for you.
I told you before,
I can't help you.
We need to know why you
can't help these people.
We are here to make a difference.
We believe all lives are special.
Some lives, some no.
Really?
nothing will ever change.
Nothing will change.
Of course it does.
Nothing stays the same.
Value your life, it's a good one
It's what I am trying to do!
No, what you are trying to do
is change what is.
And what is?
Go home.
Really.
Go home.
Maybe...
Maybe you lost your faith in people.
But you feel the same for something.
You must still care for something.
Maybe we can't change what it is,
But trying to save a life,
isn't wasting your life. Is it?
they will eventually lose.
They can't keep it up against a united front.
They can't!
Time alone will tell. In the meantime,
we just got to hold it together.
Just the other day...
Excuse me, Sara?
Where are you going?
To talk to him.
He'll probably want his privacy.
Michael, you shouldn't worry,
he's helping us.
He's being paid.
He didn't take anything.
Thank you again for doing this.
Really from all of us.
You never told us your name.
John.
Where are you from?
