The situation has deteriorated so badly that last September the U.N. Security Counsel added Burma to its formal agenda. The Karen tribe is the largest ethnic minority in Burma. They continue to fight the junta. They say they will not surrender until there is peace and a separate state for the Karen people. Producer Jack Chance and the international documentary team Outer Voices went to Burma and Thailand to interview refugee activists from the Karen Women's Organization. This is their story.
