The Mekong is one of the great rivers of the world. Born at 5000 meters altitude in the Tibetan Plateau and after crossing China, Burma, Thailand, enters in Laos and Cambodia to die in the China Sea, South of Vietnam.
Laos, Cambodia and southern Vietnam are the site where develops this episode, which aims to show the reality of these three countries and how the Mekong River is central to the life of its people.
Anam mountains, in Laos, welcoming Ekor Tribe. Until then the cameras have moved the program to capture the new year celebration, its leisurely way of life and respect for the environment in their daily work.
Following the path of spirituality that the river leaves behind in this place, are the temples pagodas and monasteries where youth are initiated into the monkhood and show the subtle balance between the religious world and the secular world.
In Cambodia you still can guess the splendor of the ancient Khmer empire in the refined ruins of a civilization that was able to create a complex system of canals and levees for intensive rice cultivation.
But the country is marked by a recent past of violence. The documentary features testimonies about the concentration camps that killed off a third of the population, and analyzes the problem of a land planted of bombs and mines that produce a staggering 10 amputations a day.
The delta of the nine dragons is the Vietnamese name given to the river where it flows into the South China Sea. Here 5000 channels carry water to the rice fields.
In Sang, the largest city in the delta, where the river dies, the Li family, wealthy fish merchants, offers insight into the hectic life of this population sustained by the Mekong River.

Vom Mekong-Delta bis hinauf ins legendäre Goldene Dreieck führt die Reise auf dem großen Fluss Asiens. Robert Hetkämper und sein Team des Studios Singapur benutzten für die rund 2.000 Kilometer lange Flussfahrt ausschließlich kleine, jeweils vor Ort gemietete Boote. Eine Reise auf einem wilden und ungezähmten Strom.
Allerdings mehren sich die Zeichen, dass der Mekong nicht mehr lange in seinem Naturzustand erhalten bleiben wird. Staudammprojekte in Laos und weiter oben in China sind hoch umstritten und gelten bei Naturschützern als Gefährdung der natürlichen Wasserstände und der Fischbestände. Robert Hetkämpers Prognose: Schon eine Generation später wird man diesen Fluss nicht mehr so erleben können wie auf dieser Reise.
Der erste Teil der insgesamt dreiteiligen Reportage führt von Vietnam nach Kambodscha. Dort trifft das Team auf Menschen im Delta des Mekongs, eine Familie, die mit ihrem Hausboot auf schwimmenden Märkten Handel treibt und einen durch Brückenbauten arbeitslos gewordenen Fährmann. Auf einer Schlangenfarm begegnen sie giftigen Kobras. In Kambodscha erleben sie das große Flussfest mit dem König von Kambodscha, hören von den Fischern die Sorge um die Fischbestände des großen Stroms und sie sind dabei, als das Königliche Ballett von Kambodscha in der Tempelanlage von Angkor Wat in einer Tropennacht die mystischen Tänzerinnen des Himmels zum Leben erweckt.

Killing the Mekong - Asia - The Mekong river is on the brink, as damming on a massive scale destroys the environment and could consequently devastate millions of lives.

Rich in extraordinary biodiversity, the Mekong River is the Amazon of South East Asia. But the construction of multiple dams threatens to have devastating effects on this energy and development-hungry region.
"Mekong River gives everything. Mekong river is mother," says one local. The river's cultural, environmental and economic significance is unmeasurable. But despite the threat of earthquakes, extinction of species and food shortages, the dream of hydropower - and the money it brings - is driving governments to turn its torrents into peaceful reservoirs. European consultant Poyry, who are working on the Xayaburi dam, have been accused by environmentalists of giving the Laotian government, "badly misleading advice". Meanwhile, fisheries expert Ian Baird points out, "the very people that regional governments and international organizations are spending a lot of time trying to alleviate from poverty are the ones who are going to be impacted".

From its source in the Tibetan Plateau, the Mekong River travels over four thousand kilometers through six countries, eventually flowing through the vast Mekong Delta of Vietnam and into the sea. More than sixty million people rely on the river for their culture, livelihoods and food security. The Mekong basin, however, is rapidly changing. Hydro power dams on the Mekong mainstream are soon to be built. Critically claimed, the film MEKONG examines the issues of hydro power development and its impact on Mekong River citizen's lives.

The Mekong rises as the Lancang (Lancang) in the "Three Rivers Area" on the Tibetan Plateau in the Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve; the reserve protects the headwaters of, from north to south, the Yellow (Huang He), the Yangtze and the Mekong Rivers.[3] It flows southeast through Yunnan Province, and then through the Three Parallel Rivers Area in the Hengduan Mountains, along with the Yangtze to its north and the Salween River (Nujiang in Chinese) to its south.
The Mekong then meets the tripoint of China, Burma (Myanmar) and Laos. From there it flows southwest and forms the border of Burma and Laos for about 100 kilometres (62 mi) until it arrives at the tripoint of Burma, Laos, and Thailand. This is also the point of confluence between the Ruak River (which follows the Thai-Burma border) and the Mekong. The area of this tripoint is sometimes termed the Golden Triangle, although the term also refers to the much larger area of those three countries that is notorious as a drug producing region.
From the Golden Triangle tripoint, the Mekong turns southeast to briefly form the border of Laos with Thailand. It then turns east into the interior of Laos, flowing first east and then south for some 400 kilometres (250 mi) before meeting the border with Thailand again. Once more, it defines the Laos-Thailand border for some 850 kilometres (530 mi) as it flows first east, passing in front of the capital of Laos, Vientiane, then turns south. A second time, the river leaves the border and flows east into Laos soon passing the city of Pakse. Thereafter, it turns and runs more or less directly south, crossing into Cambodia.
At Phnom Penh the river is joined on the right bank by the river and lake system the Tonlé Sap. When the Mekong is low, the Tonle Sap is a tributary; water flows from the lake and river into the Mekong. When the Mekong floods, the flow reverses; the floodwaters of the Mekong flow up the Tonle Sap.
Immediately after the Sap River joins the Mekong by Phnom Penh, the Bassac River branches off the right (west) bank. The Bassac River is the first and main distributary of the Mekong; thus, this is the beginning of the Mekong Delta. The two rivers, the Bassac to the west and the Mekong to the east, enter Vietnam very soon after this. In Vietnam, the Bassac is called the Hậu River (Sông Hậu or Hậu Giang); the main, eastern, branch of the Mekong is called the Tiền River or Tiền Giang. In Vietnam, distributaries of the eastern (main, Mekong) branch include the Mỹ Tho River, the Ba Lai River, the Hàm Luông River, and the Cổ Chiên River.
The Mekong is a trans-boundary river in Southeast Asia. It is the world's 12th-longest river[2] and the 7th-longest in Asia. Its estimated length is 4,350 km (2,703 mi), and it drains an area of 795,000 km2 (307,000 sq mi), discharging 457 km3 (110 cu mi) of water annually.
From the Tibetan Plateau this river runs through China's Yunnan province, Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. In 1995, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam established the Mekong River Commission to assist in the management and coordinated use of the Mekong's resources. In 1996 China and Burma (Myanmar) became "dialogue partners" of the MRC and the six countries now work together within a cooperative framework.
The extreme seasonal variations in flow and the presence of rapids and waterfalls in this river have made navigation difficult. The river is a major trading route linking China's southwestern province of Yunnan to Laos, Burma (Myanmar) and Thailand to the south, an important trade route between western China and Southeast Asia.

The extreme seasonal variations in flow and the presence of rapids and waterfalls in this river have made navigation difficult. The river is a major trading route linking China’s southwestern province of Yunnan to Laos, Burma and Thailand to the south, an important trade route between western China and Southeast Asia.
In English the river is called "the Mekong River", derived from "Mae Nam Khong", a term of both Thai and Lao origin. In the Lao-Thai toponymy, all great rivers are considered "mother rivers" signalled by the prefix "mae", meaning "mother", and "nam" for water. In the Mekong's case, Mae Nam Khong means Khong, The Mother of Water. "Khong" is derived from the Sanskrit "ganga", meaning the Ganges. Many Northern Thai and Laos locals refer to it as the "River Khong". Such is the case with the Mae Nam Ping in Chiang Mai which is known as the "Ping River". The Tonle Sap in Cambodia is a similar example – where Tonle translates as "Great lake or river", making the Tonle Sap River an unnecessary repetition of what is in fact the "Sap River".

MEKONG - The Film [English Version]
From its source in the Tibetan Plateau, the Mekong River travels over four thousand kilometers through six countries, eventually flowing through the vast Mekong Delta of Vietnam and into the sea. More than sixty million people rely on the river for their culture, livelihoods and food security. The Mekong basin, however, is rapidly changing. Hydro power dams on the Mekong mainstream are soon to be built. Critically claimed, the film MEKONG examines the issues of hydro power development and its impact on Mekong River citizen's lives. -

Der Mekong - Chinas reißender Strom (Doku)
☛Jeden Tag neue Deals auf Amazon – stark reduziert: http://goo.gl/ItPpw6 ☚ Der Mekong fließt durch sieben Länder, bevor er sich im vietnamesischen Mekong-Delta ins Südchinesische Meer ergießt. Beinahe die Hälfte seiner 4.500 Flusskilometer fließen durch China. Ariane Reimers und ihr Team haben weite Strecken des Flusslaufs bereist. Das Ergebnis ist ein beeindruckender Film, der den Zuschauer mit auf die Reise nimmt, die faszinierenden Facetten des Mekong zu erkunden. Im tibetischen Teil thronen 6000m-Berge über seinem Tal, über den Fluss flattern tibetische Gebetsfahnen, in kleinen Tempeln am Fluss beten die Dorfbewohner. Entlang des Flusses - ihn immer wieder kreuzend - zog sich bis in die 60er Jahre ein alter Handelspfad, auf dem zu Pferd oder zu Fuß wichtige Güter transportiert wurden... -

The Mekong is one of the great rivers of the world. Born at 5000 meters altitude in the Tibetan Plateau and after crossing China, Burma, Thailand, enters in Laos and Cambodia to die in the China Sea, South of Vietnam.
Laos, Cambodia and southern Vietnam are the site where develops this episode, which aims to show the reality of these three countries and how the Mekong River is central to the life of its people.
Anam mountains, in Laos, welcoming Ekor Tribe. Until then the cameras have moved the program to capture the new year celebration, its leisurely way of life and respect for the environment in their daily work.
Following the path of spirituality that the river leaves behind in this place, are the temples pagodas and monasteries where youth are initiated into the monkhood and show the subtle balance between the religious world and the secular world.
In Cambodia you still can guess the splendor of the ancient Khmer empire in the refined ruins of a civilization that was able to create a complex system of canals and levees for intensive rice cultivation.
But the country is marked by a recent past of violence. The documentary features testimonies about the concentration camps that killed off a third of the population, and analyzes the problem of a land planted of bombs and mines that produce a staggering 10 amputations a day.
The delta of the nine dragons is the Vietnamese name given to the river where it flows into the South China Sea. Here 5000 channels carry water to the rice fields.
In Sang, the largest city in the delta, where the river dies, the Li family, wealthy fish merchants, offers insight into the hectic life of this population sustained by the Mekong River.

Vom Mekong-Delta bis hinauf ins legendäre Goldene Dreieck führt die Reise auf dem großen Fluss Asiens. Robert Hetkämper und sein Team des Studios Singapur benutzten für die rund 2.000 Kilometer lange Flussfahrt ausschließlich kleine, jeweils vor Ort gemietete Boote. Eine Reise auf einem wilden und ungezähmten Strom.
Allerdings mehren sich die Zeichen, dass der Mekong nicht mehr lange in seinem Naturzustand erhalten bleiben wird. Staudammprojekte in Laos und weiter oben in China sind hoch umstritten und gelten bei Naturschützern als Gefährdung der natürlichen Wasserstände und der Fischbestände. Robert Hetkämpers Prognose: Schon eine Generation später wird man diesen Fluss nicht mehr so erleben können wie auf dieser Reise.
Der erste Teil der insgesamt dreiteiligen Reportage führt von Vietnam nach Kambodscha. Dort trifft das Team auf Menschen im Delta des Mekongs, eine Familie, die mit ihrem Hausboot auf schwimmenden Märkten Handel treibt und einen durch Brückenbauten arbeitslos gewordenen Fährmann. Auf einer Schlangenfarm begegnen sie giftigen Kobras. In Kambodscha erleben sie das große Flussfest mit dem König von Kambodscha, hören von den Fischern die Sorge um die Fischbestände des großen Stroms und sie sind dabei, als das Königliche Ballett von Kambodscha in der Tempelanlage von Angkor Wat in einer Tropennacht die mystischen Tänzerinnen des Himmels zum Leben erweckt.

Rich in extraordinary biodiversity, the Mekong River is the Amazon of South East Asia. But the construction of multiple dams threatens to have devastating effects on this energy and development-hungry region.
"Mekong River gives everything. Mekong river is mother," says one local. The river's cultural, environmental and economic significance is unmeasurable. But despite the threat of earthquakes, extinction of species and food shortages, the dream of hydropower - and the money it brings - is driving governments to turn its torrents into peaceful reservoirs. European consultant Poyry, who are working on the Xayaburi dam, have been accused by environmentalists of giving the Laotian government, "badly misleading advice". Meanwhile, fisheries expert Ian Baird points out, "the very people that regional governments and international organizations are spending a lot of time trying to alleviate from poverty are the ones who are going to be impacted".

The Mekong rises as the Lancang (Lancang) in the "Three Rivers Area" on the Tibetan Plateau in the Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve; the reserve protects the headwaters of, from north to south, the Yellow (Huang He), the Yangtze and the Mekong Rivers.[3] It flows southeast through Yunnan Province, and then through the Three Parallel Rivers Area in the Hengduan Mountains, along with the Yangtze to its north and the Salween River (Nujiang in Chinese) to its south.
The Mekong then meets the tripoint of China, Burma (Myanmar) and Laos. From there it flows southwest and forms the border of Burma and Laos for about 100 kilometres (62 mi) until it arrives at the tripoint of Burma, Laos, and Thailand. This is also the point of confluence between the Ruak River (which follows the Thai-Burma border) and the Mekong. The area of this tripoint is sometimes termed the Golden Triangle, although the term also refers to the much larger area of those three countries that is notorious as a drug producing region.
From the Golden Triangle tripoint, the Mekong turns southeast to briefly form the border of Laos with Thailand. It then turns east into the interior of Laos, flowing first east and then south for some 400 kilometres (250 mi) before meeting the border with Thailand again. Once more, it defines the Laos-Thailand border for some 850 kilometres (530 mi) as it flows first east, passing in front of the capital of Laos, Vientiane, then turns south. A second time, the river leaves the border and flows east into Laos soon passing the city of Pakse. Thereafter, it turns and runs more or less directly south, crossing into Cambodia.
At Phnom Penh the river is joined on the right bank by the river and lake system the Tonlé Sap. When the Mekong is low, the Tonle Sap is a tributary; water flows from the lake and river into the Mekong. When the Mekong floods, the flow reverses; the floodwaters of the Mekong flow up the Tonle Sap.
Immediately after the Sap River joins the Mekong by Phnom Penh, the Bassac River branches off the right (west) bank. The Bassac River is the first and main distributary of the Mekong; thus, this is the beginning of the Mekong Delta. The two rivers, the Bassac to the west and the Mekong to the east, enter Vietnam very soon after this. In Vietnam, the Bassac is called the Hậu River (Sông Hậu or Hậu Giang); the main, eastern, branch of the Mekong is called the Tiền River or Tiền Giang. In Vietnam, distributaries of the eastern (main, Mekong) branch include the Mỹ Tho River, the Ba Lai River, the Hàm Luông River, and the Cổ Chiên River.
The Mekong is a trans-boundary river in Southeast Asia. It is the world's 12th-longest river[2] and the 7th-longest in Asia. Its estimated length is 4,350 km (2,703 mi), and it drains an area of 795,000 km2 (307,000 sq mi), discharging 457 km3 (110 cu mi) of water annually.
From the Tibetan Plateau this river runs through China's Yunnan province, Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. In 1995, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam established the Mekong River Commission to assist in the management and coordinated use of the Mekong's resources. In 1996 China and Burma (Myanmar) became "dialogue partners" of the MRC and the six countries now work together within a cooperative framework.
The extreme seasonal variations in flow and the presence of rapids and waterfalls in this river have made navigation difficult. The river is a major trading route linking China's southwestern province of Yunnan to Laos, Burma (Myanmar) and Thailand to the south, an important trade route between western China and Southeast Asia.

The largest known catfish in North America was a 143-pound (65-kilogram). But that’s dwarfed by the grizzly-bear sized Mekong giant catfish caught in Thailand in 2005, which weighed 646 pounds (293 kilograms) and was nearly nine feet long (2.7 meters).

00:15 Este documental cuenta la historia del río Mekong, el cuarto río más importante de Asia, conocido como "Los Nueve Dragones" en tierras vietnamitas; una tierra repleta de leyendas, de ciudades olvidadas, y de tribus perdidas en los confines de la selva en su recorrido por el sureste asiático. Pero también es una tierra herida por el horror y la barbarie humana...
05:53 El 5 de febrero las mujeres preparan el arroz para celebrar el año nuevo. Luego prepararan pasteles especiales y licor de arroz. El arroz lo teñirán de rojo, verde y amarillo. Cada casa preparará arroz de los tres colores que serán ofrecidos a los espíritus de la familia.
08:43Por la tarde, los hombres se reúnen para jugar al Deló, un juego tan antiguo que ni los propios jugadores conocen su origen. Al Deló solo juegan dos veces al año; durante las celebraciones del nuevo año y una vez recogida la primera cosecha de arroz.
11:32 El 60% de los laosianos practican el budismo Theravada, introducido aparentemente en el país a finales del siglo XIII.
12:42 Luangprabang es la primera ciudad que se encuentra el Mekong a su paso por Laos. Situada a 700 metros de altitud, Luangprabang comienza a despertar tras varias décadas de guerras y revoluciones.
13:42 Los Wats o centros de oración representan la arquitectura mas refinada del arte laosiano. Aquí los jóvenes monjes comienzan su aprendizaje budista, se les enseña a vivir sus votos monásticos, a rezar y a meditar. El budismo, mas que una religión es una filosofía o un camino con un único objetivo; alcanzar el Nirvana, la extinción de todas las causas que provocan el sufrimiento, la insatisfacción y las enfermedades.
17:03 Una vez atravesados los territorios laosianos, las aguas del Mekong se adentran en Camboya, un país sumido en la violencia y la pobreza. En las selvas del norte del país se esconde el mas increíble testimonio de lo que llegó a ser el imperio Jemer; Angkor, "la ciudad del bosque durmiente" uno de los mas fabulosos monumentos arquitectónicos que existen en la tierra.
18:08 Sin embargo el origen de Angkor permanece sumergido en el misterio. Las únicas referencias que se tienen proceden de los relatos de viajeros chinos e indios y de algunas inscripciones que aun perduran en las piedras.
22:13 En 1975 Saloth Sar mas conocido como Pol Pot, sumergió a sus ciudadanos hasta lo mas profundo del infierno. Mientras la vecina Vietnam se encontraba inmersa en una encarnizada lucha contra el invasor americano, Pol Pot funda el clandestino Partido de los Trabajadores de Kampuchea, un movimiento ideado a principio de los años 50 en las aulas de la Universidad de la Sorbona de París donde Pol Pot estudiaba gracias a una beca. En 1965, en una visita a China en los inicios de la Revolución Cultural, Pol Pot descubre definitivamente la línea radical.
30:47 El 15 de abril de 1998 Pol Pot fallece a los 70 años de edad, en una pequeña choza dentro de la selva tailandesa donde se había refugiado con los últimos Jemeres Rojos. Su fallecimiento se produjo en un momento muy oportuno, cuando Bill Clinton había iniciado los tramites para que fuera capturado y juzgado.
31:48 Los supervivientes han superado físicamente el horror de aquellos años, pero han quedado profundamente marcados psicológicamente. Pero Camboya esconde otro drama oculto bajo la tierra y que ya ha provocado mas de 35.000 amputados diseminados por todo el país tras mas de dos décadas de guerras. Entre 7 y 9 millones de minas antipersona siguen agazapadas esperando a su próxima víctima y cada día 10 nuevos mutilados se suman a la lista negra.
35:08 Enrique Figaredo es un jesuita asturiano que desde hace ocho años dirige la "Casa de las Palomas Blancas", un colegio de formación profesional especializado en la fabricación de sillas de ruedas y que tienen fama de ser las mejores del país. Cada semana el y la hermana Kampat recorren las aldeas de Camboya repartiendo sillas a los mas necesitados.
39:08 Nuestro descenso por el Mekong está llegando a su final. Antes de morir en el mar de China, ya en tierras vietnamitas, el río forma un extenso y complejo delta conocido como Los Nueve dragones. Una red de 5000 kilómetros de canales naturales y artificiales transportan sus aguas a los campos de arroz. Canthó es la ciudad más importante del delta, no es demasiado grande pero sí muy populosa.

Der Mekong fließt durch sieben Länder, bevor er sich im vietnamesischen Mekong-Delta ins Südchinesische Meer ergießt. Beinahe die Hälfte seiner 4.500 Flusskilometer fließen durch China. Ariane Reimers und ihr Team haben weite Strecken des Flusslaufs bereist. Das Ergebnis ist ein beeindruckender Film, der den Zuschauer mit auf die Reise nimmt, die faszinierenden Facetten des Mekong zu erkunden.
Im tibetischen Teil thronen 6000m-Berge über seinem Tal, über den Fluss flattern tibetische Gebetsfahnen, in kleinen Tempeln am Fluss beten die Dorfbewohner.
Entlang des Flusses - ihn immer wieder kreuzend - zog sich bis in die 60er Jahre ein alter Handelspfad, auf dem zu Pferd oder zu Fuß wichtige Güter transportiert wurden. Während des zweiten Weltkrieges waren es auch Waffen für den Kampf gegen die japanische Besatzungsmacht.
Wild und reißend ist der Strom hier allerdings nicht mehr - Staudämme haben ihn gezähmt und große Seen entstehen lassen. Der alte Teehandelsweg und seine Brücken wurden genauso geflutet wie die Dörfer. Insgesamt acht Staustufen soll es einmal am chinesischen Mekong geben - mit entsprechenden Konsequenzen für Mensch und Natur. Aber die Staudämme produzieren auch klimafreundlichen Strom.
Kurz vor der Grenze zu Laos und Burma wird der Fluss breiter, in den subtropischen Urwäldern links und rechts seiner Ufer leben heute noch Wildelefanten, Bären und Raubkatzen. Von dort ist es nicht mehr weit, bis der südostasiatische "Mekong" beginnt.

Barkeep, another Mekong please
Yes of course, you can keep the change
A new glass here for this new friend of mine
Forgive me, I forgot your name
Flip a coin, what shall we talk about?
Heads, I tell the truth, and tails, I lie
Well I came all the way, from Taipei today
Now Bangkok's pouring rain as I'm going blind again
And I haven't seen my girl for fifteen thousand miles
But is it true, it's always happy hour here?
And if it is, I'd like to stay a while
Well as cliche as it may sound, I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time and here's to life
Barkeep, we need to go around again
One for me and what's his name, my new best friend
So deal me in and I'll pick my cards up off the floor
I'll see a lucky coin and raise a pack of lies
Well, smile to the girl at the door, another 4 dollar whore
But don't look her in the eyes, she'll break your heart
We came all the way from Taipei today
Still Bangkok's pissin' rain and we're going blind again
And I haven't seen my girl for fifteen thousand miles
But is it true, it's always happy hour here?
And if it is, I'd like to stay a while
Well as cliche as it may sound, I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time and here's to life
Well is it true, it's always happy hour here?
And if it is, I'd like to stay a while
Well as cliche as it may sound, I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
Well as cliche as it may sound, I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time and here's to life
Here's to life, here's to life
