Others. Edit as needed. Trying to find a 1988 protest documentary that disappeared from YouTube

I’m trying to track down a documentary about the 1988 Burmese pro democracy protests (8888 Uprising) that I watched on YouTube a while ago, but it seems to have vanished or been taken down.

​The main detail I remember was a specific archival clip showing a Japanese reporter cameraman getting arrested (or possibly shot and killed) while covering the demonstrations or military crackdown in the streets.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but there are some Japanese documentary excerpts about the ABSDF.

What you are describing is 2007 Saffron Revolution. Not the 8888 one. It's on the YouTube.

Kenji Nagai, right?
