Description: Step inside the making of one of cinema's most politically charged journeys with this in-depth exploration of John Boorman's Beyond Rangoon. From the harrowing real-world events of Burma's 1988 uprising and the rise of Aung San Suu Kyi to Patricia Arquette's transformative performance and the challenges of recreating a forbidden country on film, this book unpacks every layer of a movie that dared to spotlight a nation in crisis. Combining film analysis, historical context, and behind-the-scenes insight, it examines how a Hollywood production became a lasting document of resistance—and what became of Burma once the cameras stopped rolling.
