Film on Burmese monks' protest an Oscar nominee

One of the Oscar nominees just announced this week is a long-form documentary film set in Burma/Myanmar during the 2007 monks’ protest against the repressive military regime. It’s called Burma VJ, a collection of videos  by Burmese journalists, shot at great danger to themselves, and woven into a documentary by Danish director Anders Ostergaard.

I haven’t seen it and it appears to be unavailable at  Amazon.com, Amazon.ca or Yesasia.com, but you can order from Amazon.co.uk.
