- Summary:
- "The fifth documentary in the collection looks at the future of the Greater Mekong. It is by meeting with young people and with those who are in charge of preparing, educating and training them that we will be able to go deeper in search of answers. As a conclusion, the Great Mekong and its development need to be viewed in a historical perspective, from the first men living from gathering, hunting and fishing to new technologies and Western influences that threaten to change their way of life"--Container label.

- Notes:
- Originally produced as a documentary film in The Mekong Region documentary series.
- "This collection of documentaries invites discovery of one of the longest rivers in the world, the Mekong. Flowing through six countries: China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, the river basin has become what could be called the 'garden of the world.' Despite differences in languages, histories, customs and nationalities, it remains the undisputed economical, social and spiritual link of the region, oft called the Greater Mekong"--Container label.
