LAND IS LIFE: TONITE'S INVITATION, META House @ 7PM
Dear Film Friends!I'd like to invite you personally for TONITE'S FIRST SCREENING (7PM @ Meta)
of our most recent doc film production "LAND IS LIFE".
Supported by Germany and the World Bank, the Royal Government of Cambodia
has prepared the pilot project "Land Allocation for Social and Economic
Development" (LASED) to provide land to landless and land-poor people.
The film LAND IS LIFE by Nico Mesterharm & Ian White shows the process and
experiences of the first 'Social Land Concession' in Kratie province.
As Cambodian land issues are making headlines it is a very interesting
documentary to watch.
Project makers will be @ Meta House and open for a Q&A.
Please be our guest tonite or for the coming days, when we screen a variety
of media productions from Cambodia - most of them made possible through NGO
funding.
Hope to see you tonite,
all the best - Nico Mesterharm
