The Documentary

For more than 20 years, the Burmese government has been working to maintain ceasefire agreements with 17 major armed rebel groups, but now it is facing a fight back from one of them - why? Ko Ko Aung, from the BBC's Burmese Service, travelled to Burma to find out why Khun Thurein, with his army of just 100 men, is taking on the 400,000 strong Burmese army.
