Sinopse
During the summer of 2013, the SNIS team joined the project researchers in Ratanakiri, in northeastern Cambodia, and met the principle protagonists: Jarai farmers concerned about loosing their land, local medium sized companies involved in rubber tree plantations, Khmer in-migrants and local authorities. The documentary film addresses the topic of the current rubber boom and how it affects livelihoods and food security through the voices of the local population. It further raises the question as to how the local community takes part in the process of the agrarian transition driven by large scale rubber companies and to what extent it can benefit from the transformation.
