• “My hope…

    …Is that I have managed to give the viewer a sense of Myanmar’s people and culture—both of which are highly complex. This is an incredibly diverse country, with seven major ethnic groups and more than 130 languages.” -Robert H. Lieberman

    They Call It Myanmar_In the front of the boat

Robert H. Lieberman, Director

"There is a fine line between investigative journalism and portraying the reality of life. The news reports coming out of Burma tend to focus on the political aspects as well as the civil wars that are ongoing. Our film, on the other hand, is an attempt to put a human face on the country."

Among his previous films are the highly praised comedy “Green Lights”, and the award-winning feature documentaries “Last Stop Kew Gardens,” “Faces In A Famine” and “BoyceBall.” His latest novel is “The Last Boy.” He is also the author of the best-selling “Baby” and “Paradise Rezoned, ” (which sold over 300,000 copies). His other novels include, “Goobersville Breakdown, ” and “Perfect People.” These are all available in an electronic edition from Kindle and in print from Amazon. He is presently at work developing a feature film based on his new novel “The Nazis, My Father & Me.”
