Laura is
trying to pick up the pieces of her life after the
murder of her husband and son, and goes on vacation with
her sister to Burma. After losing her passport at a
political rally, she is left on her own for a few days,
during which time she falls in with students fighting
for democracy. She and their leader, U Aung Ko, travel
through Burma, whilst witnessing many bloody acts of
repression by the dictatorship, in an attempt to escape
to Thailand. Based on a true story.
Beyond Rangoon is a 1995 drama film directed by John Boorman about Laura Bowman
(played by Patricia Arquette), an American tourist who vacations in Burma
(Myanmar) in 1988, the year in which the 8888 Uprising takes place. The film was
mostly filmed in Malaysia, and, though a work of fiction, was inspired by real
people and real events.
Bowman joins, albeit initially unintentionally, political rallies with
university students protesting for democracy, and travels with the student
leader U Aung Ko throughout Burma. There, they see the brutality of the military
dictators of the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC), and attempt to
escape to Thailand.
The film was an official selection at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, where it
was one of the popular hits of the event.
The film may have had an impact beyond movie screens, however. Only weeks into
its European run, the Burmese military junta freed Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung
San Suu Kyi (depicted in the film) after several years under strict house
arrest. The celebrated democracy leader thanked the filmmakers in her first
interview with the BBC.[citation needed] Suu Kyi was re-arrested a few years
later, but Beyond Rangoon had already helped raise world attention on a
previously "invisible" tragedy: the massacres of 1988 and the cruelty of her
country''s military rulers.
