Ma Yan Chan – Waves of Transition
For generations, the dockers and their families have lived and worked along the Irrawaddy riverbank in Mandalay, the ancient royal capital of Myanmar. In a time of great political and social transition, their traditional way of life is suddenly declared illegal, leading to a permanent transformation of purpose and place. Their houses are to be bulldozed; the authorities intend to move the residents into newly built concrete blocks.
«Ma Yan Chan – Waves of Transition» is an immersion into a unique and disappearing universe.
