I’d like all lightstalkers to have a look at my two latest features.

The first one was shot on the border between Thailand and Burma,and it deals with the Karen refugees. Karen are an ethnic minority, one of the most ancient of Burma, and they have been fighting for their survival since 1946, when Burma broke free from British rule, through their armed group, the KNLA (Karen National Liberation Army). Nowadays their situation is getting worse after international aid has been redirected to the areas affected by Nargis.

The second one is about the Urak Lawoi “Sea Gypsies”, a group of natives of the Andaman coast of Thailand. They’re name comes from their long fishing trips keeping men away from home for weeks, and actually means “Brothers from the Sea”. Thanks to their knowledge of the sea they survived the 2004 Tsunami but now they have to face the wave of mass-tourism taking away their sacred land.

All kinds of feedback are highly appreciated …
