Join us for an evening with Nyunt Than, President and Co-Founder of the Burmese American Democratic Alliance (BADA) as he shares with us a short documentary film “Prayer of Peace: Relief & Resistance in Burma’s War Zones” (2007). 

Mr. Than was born and educated in Burma.  He left the country after the 1988 pro-democracy uprising and since 2001 has been advocating for democracy and freedom for Burma. 

The documentary follows ethnic front-line relief workers as they aid internally displaced people suffering under the Burma Army.  Focusing on a female medic and a pastor/human rights cameraman, the film reveals a people that have maintained their dignity and hope for peace despite the odds.  Filmed on relief missions with the Free Burma Rangers. 

Event sponsored by PANA and Seminarians to End War.
