24 hrs - Farm Land from Nicolas Axelrod on Vimeo.
Yoo Tho is a 63-year-old farmer, who has worked his land for nearly 30 years. In February 2010 a sugar cane company started bulldozing the land around his cornfield. The company wants to force him and other farmers off their land and replace their plot with other less fertile land. Farmers protested, sleeping out in the fields to stop the bulldozers, threatened by the company and the army hired to protect the land concession; villagers are left with little choice but to accept the authorities demands, leaving the farmers of Omlaing with an uncertain future.
