Twenty-five years ago the Burmese people rose up against their military government. The unarmed demonstrators were cut down, leaving more than 5,000 dead. In 'Under the Dragon', Rory MacLean meets the victims and perpetrators of the uprising, unraveling a paradox of selfless generosity and sinister greed.
