Rambo turns human rights campaigner
Rambo turns human rights campaigner
Last Modified: 03 Mar 2008

The Vietnam veteran, played by Sly Stallone, is in Burma in his new film which centres on the Karen people and the brutal Burmese army.
The gun-toting Rambo appears to have come of age in his new film, and his new cinematic role as a human rights campaigner has made Stallone a symbol of the Burmese resistance.
Banned by the Rangoon government, pirated copies of the movie are proving hard to come by.
In Britain, the Odeon chain of cinemas is refusing to screen it for commercial reasons.
