The Saffron PremiereOn 14th July The Co-operative will present the nationwide Saffron Premiere of Burma VJ.
Cinemas all across the country, including one near you, will be satellite-linked LIVE to BAFTA in London, creating a nationwide “Saffron Premiere”. On the night, everyone will be encouraged to wear something saffron (or at least orange!) to symbolise their support for the monks, journalists and general public who took part in the 2007 Saffron Revolution in Burma.

You need to be a co-op member to get the free tickets but you are given the option to join on this site. There are screenings nationwide. All the London ones seem to be reserve list only now but OH joined the reserve list last night and today got an e-mail saying they had more tickets (that was for Greenwich). There are free places left at screenings in other cities (too many to list here)
