Part 1:U Gawsita, Saffron Revolution

A year ago the monks of Burma led half a million people in peaceful protests around the country, proclaiming to the military regime that peace and freedom must be finally restored to the people. The generals' response to the non-violent calls was extremely brutal; hundreds were killed, thousands imprisoned, many monasteries raided, and many people are still missing.

U Gawsita was one of the leaders of the Saffron Revolution. He speaks about what happened and what he wants the world to do.
