So beautiful I love to learn from other cultures....I felt her pain when she could not fish more fish...as a farmer when I lose my crops due to the lack of rain I feel so sad too. Thank you to whoever posted this informative video.
28:10 when the father spoke on the Cameron saying " the camerons used to take care of us even without fish we couldn't sell the comerons who once brought us fish now it's up to us to take care of them" my heart swelled with pride for there culture however hard or strenuous I love to fish and they fish for life itself RESPECT!🙏🏻
A very intelligent, deeply sensitive video about the lives of some fisher families along the Mekong river. Despite their many hardships, we see them retain their optimism, their caring, and perhaps most of all, their dignity.
The mother has incredible resilience. It must be so hard to see your family loosing faith, crying and saddened when they were were fishing with little yield. Yet she pushed on. She would make a great leader.
I have been to China, Tibet, Hongkong and throughout Asia, but I love Tibet and China the best! Its beautiful country with the majority of people is very happy and proud of their cultures! Thank you for sharing this Documentary!
I've been to Alaska, Texas and USA, I found their infrastructure is like hell..... why's it called developed? by the definition of their own? no humble countries would call themselves developed.... because they always are developing into better countries
Wow! wonderful vid.....there are challenges for us all with a warming climate but for those living directly off a river so populated it's more critical to change quickly. Brilliantly portrayed.
The guy trying to start a Fish Farm was truly inspiring. He remained so positive after all his fish died referring to it as, The only way to learn and when asked why doesn`t he look for another job his reply, I really want to succeed , I must do everything necessary to fulfill my dream , I wont give up until I succeed. And thanks to his perseverance he bloody well did succeed. Well done that man and much respect to you
It this one of the best Mekong documentary film i ever watch, I wish to see hydro power dams included in the film if possible, to tell the phenomena of Mekong and the future of people who are living and depending on the river. Thanks
great film I always love a rare glimpse into different peoples and cultures of the world. Despite our differences there is a human element that we all share
The Lao and Thai people are originated in China, tracing back for 4000 years. Back then they were one people, and for hundreds and thousands of years they were moving south, which they found Laos (Lan Cang as what Chinese called the Mekong, but in Laos people called LAN Cang or LAN Xang as million elephants, which is the old name of the country) and Thailand.
I feel so happy that Rivers sourcing from Tibet feeds millions of families in our neighbor countries all the way to Pacific Ocean. Tibet is the resource of Major rivers in Asia. politically, economically and socially Rivers are one of the most important resource of the countries and its peoples lives. Mekong River is the one which floods through Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam all the way to Ocean. But we have 8 great Rivers sourced in Himalayas in Tibet. The great Indus River which flows by Pakistan. The great Ganges River which flows by India. The great Brahmaputra River which flows by Bangladesh. The great Salween River which flows by Burma. The great Yangtse River which flows by China. The great Yellow River which flows by China also. The great Mekong River which flows by by 5 countries. Starting from Tibet through China, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam all the way to Ocean.
Point of correction there, the Tonle Sap lake is far from the Mekong River. However, it is only the Tonle Sap river that meets the Mekong in Phnom Penh
As someone prior to this commented that 'narrator is over exegerrating'. Whatever it is, it id always better to know the generalized view of the region and the lifestyle. This video satisfies the same.
Bend on your knees and ask jesus he beside you and you are see the living God, not idols or god made by hand of man, open your eyes blind leader lead everbody to fall in the same hole, god bless you brothers and sisters,
Enjoy this video and learn a lot from your life style: hard working, thrift, disciplined and enjoy life's reward and hardship. Hunting and conservation are two sides of the same coin. Learn to harvest and to raise in the river just as you do on land. Make a few regulations that benefit all. Good luck !
Thanks. What do the people in the boats do for sanitation,? the river, they Fri k out of the rjver. maybe they boil the water.like nomads in the Sahara use the sand I guess. They seem happy though.😎
l lived in this village for 8 months studying the language and teaching English, there are plenty of fish for the locals to live on and sell, the problem is the fishetman don't want to adapt to different fishing methods. l live with a family and the trade off was teaching there children English and providing there family fish to eat and sell. l used a cane pole, hooks and cut up fish as bait. the local fisherman were amazed and angry at the same time with the amount of fish l would catch in a short amount of time. do away with the custom of using birds adapt and you will prosper
MEKONG IS NO MATCH FOR PEOPLE WHO RELY ON FISHING EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY FOR THEIR SURVIVAL AND LIVELIHOOD. NOW THEY HAVE TO RESORT TO FISH FARMING AND IT HAPPEN ALL OVER THE WORLD.
This river is worth putting on the list of in dangerous species or under protection of none pollution,because this river are the only resource for this part of the country. The reason is, they have no ocean and No other fish resources . I feel so bad for the people.
Lao, Vietnam, Campuchia, The Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, etc. all tropical countries: tourists should avoid forests, jungles, lakes, ponds, creeks, rivers, etc because there are countless ANOPHELES (Malaria transmitted mosquitoes). Very high risk of catching MALARIA. Malaria is difficult to cure, and even after being cured, the patients are not allowed to donate blood and organs.
If you catch your fish, you sell your own fish and get more money. Don't whole sell to someone who could make a lot more money than you. Pollution will always be a factor and it's up to the people to reduce the cause of it. If you don't care now, the river won"t care for the future.
Arturo Apilado ...also bro know excuse for her kids being completely illiterate. They must learn the basics even if they stop at the 6th grade. She is leaving them behind in this ever competitive world.
I was thinking the same, I watched 6:38 minutes of it and had to stop, I did give it a thumps up because of the native people and the scenery but thumb down for the narrators, I believe what " Sva You Bey posted"

The river of nine Dragons

nice video
They don't need cormorants, they need fishing rods, hooks and a river biologist to help mother fish breed 40 times more.
God bless are Those among people along the Mekong river
The Lao and Thai people are originated in China, tracing back for 4000 years. Back then they were one people, and for hundreds and thousands of years they were moving south, which they found Laos (Lan Cang as what Chinese called the Mekong, but in Laos people called LAN Cang or LAN Xang as million elephants, which is the old name of the country) and Thailand.
No need your bias history lesson crap
How about charging tourists a fee to go fishing with them? I definitely would pay a decent amount to experience such uniqueness.
one of the best, great film life and environment. Chinese gov't should show responsibility

Incredible..birds fishing for the owner!😎

Wonder if there is any fish left in 2018 in the lake?
Great river. Hope it is spring and not glacier fed. What are we all going to do with no rivers left to pollute?
😢😢😢
wow!
Our planet is so beutiful.
*I caught a fish this big.*
🤚 ☺ ✋
*But I couldn't get my bird to spit it out. LOL*

the phrase they are many fishing methods as they are different types of fish

+Young Tang I am sure you are perfect human being. Mistake is most of human being often make.
And then you woke up?
MEKONG IS NO MATCH FOR PEOPLE WHO RELY ON FISHING EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY FOR THEIR SURVIVAL AND LIVELIHOOD. NOW THEY HAVE TO RESORT TO FISH FARMING AND IT HAPPEN ALL OVER THE WORLD.
What a blessed life they have compare to my nasty city life.

Good story but the video is very dark the whole story should to make brighter
GREATH for HUMANITY
Mama i'm coming home
It's not them who's fishing but the birds
tough life and the fishing technique is killing the species
For livelihood
Watching this I can't help but seeing that the expensive health care in the USA is a BIG SCAM!

It's a sad documentary. This life is not easy. Not for them, for for us too 🤔😢 we will only Rest in peace when we leave this world 😴

If you catch your fish, you sell your own fish and get more money. Don't whole sell to someone who could make a lot more money than you. Pollution will always be a factor and it's up to the people to reduce the cause of it. If you don't care now, the river won"t care for the future.
Arturo Apilado ..wise words,well said. If only someone could have a council with the village leaders and convey this message.
Arturo Apilado ...also bro know excuse for her kids being completely illiterate. They must learn the basics even if they stop at the 6th grade. She is leaving them behind in this ever competitive world.
They are fishing everything, including the very young fish.
Do u live there?
Never let any one Dam the river for Electricity!
Use solar energy instead !!
I would love to watch this again with subtitles not 2 fake narrator voices
😢😢😢😢អាណិតណាស់ពិតជាកំសត់មែន thấy tội quá đúng kho thiet
Someone needs to show them people how to fish using a net.
Without the mekong delta this countries in big trouble.
PHILIPPINES & INDONESIA ARE VERY LUCKY, SURROUNDED WITH WATERS.
If there is no restriction on how many children they have, why do they expect to feed them with the same river?
Wish there was a way to get money to these familys that are struggling...
They are leading a happy family life. There is no unemployment no mortgage no tax to pay. Very skilled too.
a long time ago Vietnam so poor peoples and after Hainoi tookover land from Cambodia since 1949 from Prey nokor until to Chau doc boder of Cambodia.
The kids in the bowls going in line.
It is so sad coz we live in reality and no such thing as INFINITE FISH SUPPLY.
i love you cambodia
Hard life man

Poor people
Be a Fisher and farmer, use your dead fish to feed your plants, use the plants to clean the river.
Pulling a single village 😂 with tractor 😁 savage 😎
Beautiful documentary film, but the narrators are quite annoying
I was thinking the same, I watched 6:38 minutes of it and had to stop, I did give it a thumps up because of the native people and the scenery but thumb down for the narrators, I believe what " Sva You Bey posted"

Yes agreed! Dont understand why they didnt just use subtitles and translated it themselves that way.
The river-fish in this place is seriously depleted due to overfishing and consumption not enough time for recovery.
