In this week’s documentary:
The Akha tribe in Laos live almost untouched by modern civilization. Like many mountain tribes in Laos, the Akha are facing a difficult choice: between a move down into the valley, which would mean they would have electricity, running water, and better medical care – but also abandoning their ancient rituals. The film takes the viewer on an emotional journey of discovery to a tribe facing the need to reinvent itself in today’s world.
