THIRD PLACE
Rain Harvest by Khin Sina
Sie benötigen den Flashplayer , um dieses Video zu sehen
This film provides an honest and insightful look at water management on a local level that is all too seldom seen in mainstream media. The director manages to put a human face to a pressing issue in Southeast Asia – the lack of access to clean drinking water. The documentary captures the challenges many villages face in the region and the ingenious solutions they come up with to cope with their situation.
SECOND PLACE
Rasesalai by Narong Srisopap
Sie benötigen den Flashplayer , um dieses Video zu sehen
This beautifully cinematic film manages to capture the life of one person living off the river in a way that is original and fresh. Following the journey of the protagonist from disinterested youth to engaged adult, the film manages to include not just the effects of the Rasesalai Dam in Thailand on the fishers and farmers, but also the effects it has had on the wider community. In all, a very well-shot, well-edited and beautifully crafted film.
FIRST PLACE
Gone with the Water by Polen Ly
Sie benötigen den Flashplayer , um dieses Video zu sehen
The distinction of this documentary is the reflective, yet powerful way it highlights a conflict on both sides of a border, which is completely overlooked by the mainstream media. A conflict which is actually more fundamental than the military conflict we constantly hear about in the news. This is not just a documentary for the people of the two countries covered in the film, Thailand and Cambodia, but a valuable lesson in the responsibility of managing natural resources that are essential to the livelihoods of individuals and communities regardless of state, status, race or religion.
