The Mekong and the Mountains

OFFICIAL SELECTION, CULTURE UNPLUGGED: GREEN UNPLUGGED FESTIVAL 2013

A short documentary about life on the Mekong River and the surroundings mountains in South East Asia.

I shot this while on holiday in Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. Originally I'd intended to shoot some portraiture, some landscapes or some timelapse and set it to music. I ended up shooting all three along with some interviews so came up with this short piece about life along the Mekong and the surrounding mountains and how, through responsible tourism, we can help to support the local communities who live and work there.
