Journeyman Pictures Will take you on a  journey The DVB journalists Jailed and tortured They showed the military Shooting at protesters They hid on the balcony and filmed They got footage Of the Japanese journalist Who was shot by the military Another journalist Helped make An award winning Documentary About the devistating Cyclone that hit Cambodia In 2009 He was captured and jailed For years He had promised to write The girl he met From his documentary But could not because He was jailed He made his own guitar While he was Wrongfully jailed He is a good man He just wanted to show What the people were going through Now he has been released An executive from DVB media Came to talk With the Burmese officials In 2009 About having their own Official office Some of the journalists Have spoken out About how they Were tortured Things are improving Although it is a process I hope DVB succeeds And is not pestered Or persecuted by the government Any longer This poem is dedicated To the journalists Who went through Great hardships To show the injustices Of their government Who wanted to document What the people Went through After the cyclone
