Australian journalist Ross Dunkley is the publisher of the Phnom Penh Post and the co-owner of Burma's leading English-language newspaper, the Myanmar Times. When he agreed to let a film crew into his Yangon offices, he couldn't have imagined the headlines that would follow. Following Burma's first elections in 20 years, Dunkley's disaffection with his government-backed partner comes to a head and the story's focus switches dramatically to his arrest and imprisonment. DANCING WITH DICTATORS (2011, 82 mins, English) by H. Piper & H. Barrow is a gripping, and ultimately essential documentary for anyone who gives a damn about freedom of the press.
