Former Burmese movie star finds leading role as activist

In the 1980s and '90s, Kyaw Thu was one of Myanmar's leading film stars, appearing in more than 200 movies. He was so popular that the military government cast him in several propaganda films. But when he turned down a role, it ended his acting career. Instead, he founded a service that provides funerals for those who can't afford them. Jeffrey Brown tells the story of personal transformation.
