The Mekong River system is the most productive inland fishery on our planet, and it supports the third greatest plant and animal diversity on earth—after the Amazon and Nile basins. Tens of millions of impoverished and vulnerable subsistence peoples from six nations currently depend on the river’s natural bounty, which is severely threatened by Chinese plans for a series of mega dams. This film exposes some of the most significant environmental and human rights issues of our time, while charting Michael O’Shea’s unprecedented kayak adventure through one of the world’s most diverse natural and cultural environments.
