The Rotten Land
( 2019 — 40 minutes )
Something is rotten in the Northeastern of Thailand.
The documentary follows the mundane life of a rural farmer whose leg was amputated due to the use of Paraquat,
in contrast to a protest to ban a deadly pesticide that took place in the heart of Bangkok,
and the National Committee on Hazardous Substances’ refusal to ban it.
