Crossing Midnight - Burma Awareness Movie (Special Events)
Crossing Midnight tells the powerful story of courageous health workers who risk their lives to bring medical care to civilians in Burma's conflict areas. It is a great introduction to the situation faced by Burma's ethnic minorities.
The conflict in Burma has been raging for decades. Crimes against humanity and war crimes include:
-Recruitment of ten of thousands of child soldiers
-Over 3,300 ethnic minority villages destroyed
-The use of sexual violence and rape as a weapon of war
-Over one million refugees and internally displaced
More than 40,000 more people have fled from attacks in the last three months alone. This event is to raise awareness about the situation and what we as Americans can do about it! Join us and college students around the country.
