Laos's Incredible Silk

This documentary follows Anou, the grandson of an aristocratic family exiled from Laos in 1975, as he returns home and rediscovers the country's remarkable silk-weaving traditions. His personal search for roots opens onto the artisans and techniques that keep an ancient craft alive. The film blends a family story with a loving look at Laotian culture and its textiles. It is a gentle, rewarding watch about heritage, exile, and the threads that tie people to a homeland. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
