Sea gypsies in troubled waters

2016-08-19 13 Dailymotion

On this episode of DVB's Doh Pyay Doh Myay [Our Land Our Region], the team swims with the Moken, Burma's sea gypsies.<br /><br />The port of Kawthaung sits at Burma's southernmost point. It is an island paradise, and the gateway to the 800-island Mergui Archipelago. <br /><br />The islands, and the aquamarine sea that separates them, is home to the Moken, boating nomads with a magic connection to the ocean.<br /><br />But on shore, the sands have shifted. Modernity is now chafing at the lives of the sea gypsies.<br /><br />Join the Roadshow team as they meet the Moken, some still sailing now-troubled waters, others making a new life as fish out of water on both sides of Burma's border with Thailand.<br /><br />After watching our special feature on Burma's Moken, follow the team’s journey at facebook.com/dvb.dpdm or visit the website dvbdpdm.com
