1. The Monk, The Princess And The Forest

May 9, 1991

The story of the villagers and the forests in the Mae Soi valley of northern Thailand is all too tragically commonplace. Destruction of the upland forests has created a thorny desert, silted up rivers and reduced the crops.

Description

The story of villagers living in the Mae Soi valley in Thailand who are facing the destruction of their surrounding forests. Once featuring lush vegetation for miles, the small village is now home to a veritable desert. With the help of a concerned monk and woman of royal heritage, they begin to reverse the process in order to save the land and restore to it to the way it once was.
