'Songs from the Karen Forest' -- Documentary (First Half) 

'Songs from the Karen Forest' presents a concise profile of a gifted songwriter and musician whose lyrical songs plead for the preservation of his ethnic-minority community in Northwest Thailand. The Karen people of Musikee village are united in their determination to maintain their traditional lifestyle amidst the extraordinary forest biodiversity that surrounds and sustains them. Chi Suwichan is no ordinary singer. There is passion in his words and a seraphic quality to his lofty pitch that gently drifts among the rolling mists and towering pines of his beloved homeland.
