After living in exile for 20 years, Aye Chan Naing can finally return to Myanmar's homeland. As chief editor of the radio and television station The Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), Naing, together with reporter Than Win Htut and their colleagues, fought for democracy and freedom of speech from an office in Oslo. The journalists go home to test the newborn democracy in their home country, and with them in their luggage they have a dream of freedom of the press and the opportunity to continue their work in the country they hold so dearly.

Journalists Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye talk about the horrendous days in the desert, rail executions and false terror charges. They were arrested before they could report on the violence in the closed state of Ogaden. But the Ethiopian regime failed to silence them. With the help of never-before-seen video material and testimonies smuggled out of the country by a high ranking official, the whole story can finally be told. About Johan and Martin. About the violence in Ogaden. And about the prisoners of dictatorship.
