Just south of Laos, in the Northeast Corner of Cambodia, the Mekong’s most important tributary river system can be found. Known as the “3S” River Basin, it is made up of the Sesan, Sekong, and Srepok Rivers. For the Communities that live there, these rivers are the primary source of food and income. However, the Lower Sesan II Dam could significantly alter their livelihoods and the ecosystem as a whole. If built, it will be responsible for some 9% of the predicted fisheries decline from the dam construction in the Mekong. This short documentary explores communities’ struggle to be involved in the proposed dams’ development.
