Zarganar: This Prison Where I Live


Listen Later

Known for his wicked puns and outspoken comments, popular Burmese satirist and comedian Zarganar is currently serving a 35-year prison sentence, for criticising the Burmese government's handling of Cyclone Nargis in 2008.

'This Prison Where I Live' is British filmmaker Rex Bloomstein's documentary on Zarganar, which gives a brief but poignant glimpse into his life, while taking a larger look at the situation in Burma.

Rex discusses the making of this film, and the many seemingly crazy things Zarganar did and endured for love of his country, freedom and justice.
