About Laos: A Journey Through Impenetrable Jungles & Forgotten Tribes
Landlocked and long closed off from the world, Laos remained isolated for decades under a strict regime. The film travels from south to north through dangerous roads, along the Mekong River and the Ho Chi Minh Trail, a region still marked by one of the heaviest bombing campaigns in history. Above all, it follows the daily lives of ordinary people, traveling merchants, a mahout deep in the jungle, and a teacher in a remote village, who keep this quiet but resilient country moving forward.
