The Mong La Connection| 27mins
Director: Karl Ammann | Producer:
Focus Years: | Country: Kenya
Synopsis:
Mong La is a small enclave at the China-Myanmar border. The region was given autonomy at the time the Central authority in Yangon decided it was easier to do that than to constantly fight the various tribal groups in the north of the country. An ex-drug lord took over the government and today Mong La is much more a part of China then Myanmar from the telephone network being linked to China's, the currency not being the Burmese kyat” but more importantly, it is a region where anything goes, even that which God or the authorities have forbidden on either side of the border. Gambling is the big money maker, prostitution is very visible, the drug trade is still very active and of course the wildlife trade is out of control. This is in terms of bush meat served in specialty restaurants but also a lot of traditional Chinese medicinal products and a large-scale bear bile farm producing a product which the Chinese visitors take back to their home country, in total violation of the CITES treaty, to which both Myanmar and China are signatories.
