MTV Burma Viral

San Diego, CA (La Jolla),




As Cyclone Nargis tore across Burma, the world witnessed one of the worst natural disasters in history. Since then, the world has also watched the military Junta block aid from reaching those who need it so desperately. How to offer help to individual people in dire need, but who are citizens of a government that refuses to accept it?“Burma Viral”, a video collaboration between the Burma Arts Board and MTV, uses footage of warplanes bombing Burma with flowers as a dramatic call-to-action, inviting viewers to visit a new Burma Arts Board website, noneofusarefree.org, where they can send messages of support to the people of Burma in honor of their continuing struggles against the notorious practices of their oppressive military government, learn more about the devastating effects caused by the recent cyclone, and find ways to contribute to relief efforts.

Burma Arts Board and MTV hope that this Burma Viral will circulate around the world and into Burma, and bring about the changes necessary to make the aid and rescue efforts effective and to allow the Burmese people the freedom to enjoy the civil liberties they deserve.

 

This is a wonderful video. Whether it will reach any of the injured souls in Burma that it’s intended for, we’ll probably never know...
