Mekong Alive
This portfolio of films invites us to discover one of the longest rivers in the world, the Mekong, which is spread over six countries: China, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. All along its 5,000 kilometer course, this mighty river offers us uncountable enriching discoveries: the wonderful flora and rich fauna, the diversified landscapes of the Greater Mekong, the majestic mountains and wild gorges, the quiet lakes and breathtaking waterfalls.
Discover countless temples set on its banks revealing the presence of Buddhism but above all, meet some of the 320 million people who live along the stream.With its abundant production of rice, fruits, vegetables and flowers, its basin has become what could be called the ‘garden of the world’.
Even if the countries, languages, histories, customs and nationalities are different, this river remains the undisputed economical, social and spiritual link of the region, often called the Greater Mekong. Many colourful characters, all living on the banks of the waterway, will guide us.
