"Into the Current runs deep in opposition to those who argue things have changed for the better in Burma after the elections. The film reminds us that the military, among the most repressive regimes in the 21 century, has kept Burma in an autocratic state.
For four decades, I have witnessed waves of Burmese economic and political refugees pouring into my country.
Burmese of all origin - Mon, Shan, Karen, Burman and other ethnics - in the millions have been forced migrants in Thailand, in the region and throughout the world. There seems to be no end to this crisis.
Freedom and rights defenders are now armed with 'Into the Current' as a vital factual and visual aid, making it one of the most important films made about human rights violations in Burma in decades."

I have seen many films on Burma’s struggle for freedom over the 23 years..but nothing touches the conscience of nonviolent revolution as does Into the Current on behalf of Burma’s prisoners of conscience, both past and present.
Becoming the revolution is the order of the day, and during this period of so-called reform, this essential film is a safeguard against tyranny, injustice and dictatorship.
This is not merely a ‘must see film’ it is a ‘must remember’ one for generations.”
