This hybrid documentary weaves stories from Isan, Thailand’s largest yet poorest region. Through Mor Lam, a popular folk music with Lao roots, it traces political uprisings before and after the Cold War. Questioning why Isan seems cursed by misfortune, the film reveals resilience, humour and joy persisting amid a landscape shaped by bloodshed and loss.
