Beyond Rangoon
An extraordinary, brilliantly executed, not-to-be-missed story of a young American doctor who, tormented by her past, travels to Burma with her sister. When her passport is stolen, she embarks on a dangerous 'unofficial tour' during which she learns the true meaning of friendship and courage, and rediscovers in herself a powerful will to live. Patricia Arquette is superb, as are U Aung Ko and Spalding Gray.
