I happened to stumble upon this doc on pitchfork. They're streaming it for a week only so watch it while it's still there.

The doc covers the history of the band and its return to the stage in 2002. Their whole story was a real tragedy before they reunited, forced to quit just as they were starting to catch on.Mission of Burma are truly the great success story of band reunions. They returned with that powerful mix of dissonance and melody, doubling their record output in 4 years. Ive seen them live 3 times and everytime im just knocked back by the massive sound they make that gets me high.
