Ketika protes terhadap kondisi buruk dan kesewenangan pemerintah merebak di Myanmar tahun 2007, praktik pembungkamannya nyaris sempurna, mengingat situasi Myanmar yang terisolasi dari dunia luar. Orang dapat ditangkap, disiksa dan dilenyapkan tanpa dunia tahu. Maka jurnalis-jurnalis gerilya ini diam-diam merekam semuanya: mulai dari pembubaran hingga makin meluasnya pergerakan, dan mengirimkan kesaksian mereka keluar negeri dengan berbagai kanal yang tersedia.

When protests and resentments amplified against the hardship inside Myanmar in 2007, the repression against it, along with the protests, went in an almost total darkness, considering Myanmar’s isolation and total cover up. People were sent to jails and tortured, or even disappeared without the world knowing. So these guerilla journalists went to record the movement clandestinely and smuggled the footages abroad, in order to voice out the condition in Myanmar, out to the world.
