Hillary Clinton a fan of Aung San Suu Kyi biopic

Mrs Clinton said she watched the film, "The Lady," as she flew to Burma in December on the first trip there by a US secretary of state in 56 years.

Mrs Clinton was speaking before a screening Monday to a select audience in Washington, attended by the French director and the film's star, Michelle Yeoh, who plays Suu Kyi.

Suu Kyi, a Nobel peace laureate, recently won a seat in Burma's parliament as her party swept recent by-elections, prompting the U.S. to ease some economic sanctions.
