MLABRI, UNDER THE SHADE OF THE CANOPY

Endangered primary peoples

An episode from the series THE FORGOTTEN VOICES

Synopsis

In the forests that mark the frontier between Thailand and Laos, the last hunter-gatherers lived in the shadow of the canopy where they maintained their way of life until the early 2000.

The Mlabri have been resettled in missions or government villages where they can only remember the time when they lived as nomads under simple foliage shelters in the heart of the primal forests of Asia.
