Spirit Forest + Forest Mountain Voices
@ Meta House

Cambodia's indigenous, ethnic minorities live mainly in the Northeast of Cambodia. They endure rapid changes, especially regarding their natural environment. Meta House presents new short films and documentaries from Ratanakiri Province, such as SPIRIT FOREST (2011, 9 mins, Khmer with English) by Ream Chamrouen. FOREST MOUNTAIN VOICES (Ethnic languages with English subs) is an indigenous community media project, promoted by the NGO "Community Forestry International." Staffed entirely by youth from the Tampeun, Jarai, and Kreung indigenous peoples, FMV overcomes barriers imposed by high levels of illiteracy, difficult travel conditions and widespread poverty.
