Monday Happenings

Movies

There really isn't that much going on tonight, which makes it the perfect time to catch Burma VJ, a documentary about the "VJs," or "video journalists," who flouted the Burmese military to cover the pro-democracy protests that swept the country in 2007. It's a look at the diffuse nature of contemporary journalism that's made all the more poignant by the recent events in Iran. Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard St., Brookline. Tickets and showtimes.
