> Into the Current tells the story of Burma's unsung heroes - its prisoners of conscience - and the price they pay for speaking truth to power in a military dictatorship.
> 
> Using footage secretly shot in Burma, the film uncovers the stories and sacrifice of ‘ordinary’ people of exceptional courage, and the leaders who inspire them.
> 
> Former prisoner Bo Kyi and his underground team in exile and inside Burma, work tirelessly and at great risk on behalf of their 2,100 jailed colleagues.  
> 
> While they and countless others fight on, the dream of a free Burma remains alive.
