Myanmar-This Shifting Ground

7 mins · Myanmar · English subtitles

Uncertainty is central to the lives of people living along the Ayeyarwady River. Many local communities live with the knowledge that flash floods and river bank erosion can wash their houses and boats away. Many people find new places to move, as sometimes entire villages crumble under the river’s often changing courses. Local people talk about their lives and livelihoods in their shifting grounds near the Ayeyarwady River in the central region of Myanmar.
