Overview: Aung San Suu Kyi has become a global icon for the indivisibility of freedom, standing alongside Mahatma Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the international struggle for democracy, dignity, and human rights. For the past twenty three years, from the inception of Burma’s nonviolent revolution in 1988, Aung San Suu Kyi is and remains the voice of hope and
freedom in her native country, an ancient, predominately Buddhist nation of 60 million people.
The Voice of Hope is a rare and intimate journey into the heart of Aung San Suu Kyi and one of the most inspiring spiritually-informed political revolutions of our era. Over a period of six months, American-born journalist Alan Clements, and the first American ordained as a Buddhist monk in Burma, met with Aung San Suu Kyi (and her key colleagues) at her residence in Rangoon. In their taped conversations (that were smuggled out of the country) that conversed on the core issues defining Aung San Suu Kyi’s values, vision, and philosophy. This rare collection of candid and compelling conversations are of lasting historical value and provide an extraordinary glimpse into the heart and mind of one of the world’s most compelling individuals. Through her own spoken words, we come to understand why millions of people refer to her as one of the most important ‘voices for freedom’ the world has ever known.
