Monday, October 25, 2010

Phnom Penh: There will be an event on Tuesday (tonight) at Meta House, starting with a BROADCAST FROM THE JUNGLE: This TUE, 26/10, 7PM we are presenting NEW INDIGENOUS MEDIA FROM RATTANAKIRI. More than 20 distinct ethnic groups are living in Cambodia’s isolated mountain areas. In 2010, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) piloted a project to support the formation of Village Disaster Management Teams in Rattanakiri & Mondulkiri. The new documentary “RISING ABOVE NATURAL DISASTERS” (2010, 16mins) by Ian White looks at the process and impact of village team creation, as IOM helped indigenous communities plan and prepare to respond to potential natural disasters.
