Jean Rouch Award — Honorable Mention

A young indigenous Bunong woman and her older brother spend their final day in their rural village in northeastern Cambodia before an impending move to the capital city in search of a better life. While her brother is filled with excitement for the future, she feels a quiet longing to return to their ancestral village, which was lost a few years earlier due to the construction of a nearby hydroelectric dam.
