The Last Breath of Sam Yan
Self
In June 2020, there was an order from Property Management of Chulalongkorn University (PMCU) to relocate the Mazu Shrine (Saphan Lueang, Bangkok) to build tall buildings instead, including suing the administrator of the shrine for 4.6 billion baht. It led to the hashtag #saveChaoMaeThapthimShrine and a movement to protect the last breath of the historic area by neighborhood residents and students.
Tongpan
Seminar Participant
Tongpan is a 1977 Thai 16 mm black-and-white docudrama that re-creates a seminar that took place in Northeast Thailand in 1975 to discuss the proposed Pa-Mong Dam on the Mekong. Interwoven are sequences depicting a poor farmer, Tongpan, who had lost his land to another dam some years before, and his struggles to make ends meet.
