Sop Moei Arts

Promotional film for this non-profit public health project

Living Films was hired to shoot a promotional film about this non-profit organization stationed on the Thai-Burmese border.  Sop Moei Arts is a non-profit organization which has been working with the Pwo Karen in Sop Moei district of Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand for the last 30 years. 

Beginning as a public health project financed by the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) in 1977, Sop Moei Arts now operates income-generating initiatives such as textile weaving and basket making amongst several villages in this area.  By employing skills such as weaving and basket-making at which they already excel, Pwo villagers are able to make an income which can make a real difference in their lives.
