柬埔寨的沙子疏浚可能會破壞社區的生活方式

里希·穆洛斯

許多人只聽說全球正在發生的生態破壞, 但有些人必須住在裡面, 看著他們的家園和生計受到外部利益的威脅. 柬埔寨的沿海人民現在正在遭受這種痛苦,因為他們看著從紅樹林中挖出的大量沙子來支持一個他們不稱之為家的國家. 這種環境破壞不僅影響了在這些水域捕魚而生存的數千個家庭, but also ruins Cambodia’s only natural protection from different natural disasters. All of these problems just to support Singapore’s land mass expansion. While one country thrives, the other is left to survive.

切爾西傑克遜, directed by Kalyanee Mam, was curated for Planet Classroom Network by the Global Oneness Project. It follows a member of this community, Vy Phalla, showing the destruction of sand dredging and what happens when all this sand gets to Singapore. Phalla, her family and her community all live off the aquatic wildlife that surrounds them, and the sand is a crucial part of these organismshabitats. For Phalla, all she wants to see is her community and the forest around them thrive, and to continue living the way they always have.

This documentary has great production, and really goes in depth on all the different problems occurring because of this process. This sixteen minute documentary shines a light on a crisis that needs to be talked about, and illustrates how one country’s progress is usually to the detriment of another. I highly recommend this film and give it five out of five stars.
