This screen grab provided by Robert Lieberman shows a girl in a rock quarry in Myanmar. Lieberman went to Myanmar to train local filmmakers and shot his own documentary on the sly. The solo-filmed "They Call It Myanmar: Lifting the Curtain," pries the lid off daily life in what has long been one of world's most isolated and repressed places, examining its grinding poverty and tragic decades of military rule. The film is a reminder that, despite recent upbeat news as Myanmar ventures on a reform path that has seen releases of political prisoners and easing of censorship, it remains a country with huge problems. The movie is showing at selected theaters in the United States. (AP Photo/Robert Lieberman
