Summary

Denounces the deteriorating situation of land ownership in 2004 and 2006 in a number of communes due to slack enforcement of the 2001 Land Law. Highlights the resulting devastation of the social fabric of communities and destruction of indigenous culture in the provinces Ratanakiri and Mondulkiri in north-eastern Cambodia. Includes two DVDs: "Crisis" ( 25 min.) showing the worsening living conditions of indigenous people affected by illegally sold land; "Forest Mountain Voices: FMV 2006" (40 min.) presenting scenes from everyday life, including women's work, a rice ceremony, singing and dancing, handicraft production, etc.
