The documentary film Creating Contours is giving an idea about DED's work in the environmental sector in Vietnam. Since 1999, the inhabitants of the nature reserves Xuan Lien, Pu Hu and Pu Luong are no longer allowed to use the forest as a means of subsistence. New ways of making a living are urgently needed. Creating Contours follows the search for and the first successes of finding alternatives.
Still Life Moving (by Paul Zetter) follows the life of Huong, a young woman with disability in Thanh Hoa province as she takes part in the Face To Face community photography project. It is also available online at Culture Unplugged. Click HERE.
Both DVDs can be ordered FREE of charge HERE. |
