'I just didn’t know how to give up’

"Myanmar's pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi was one of the world's famous political prisoners until her release two years ago."
"After 15 years of house arrest, Ann Curry asked her Friday what her message is to other people all over the world struggling for freedom?"
