this photo shows the golden rice fields with That Son in the background. these mountains.
what is not visible in this photo is that this photo was taken near a very violent incident.
a few kilometres from where this photo was taken, light Ba chuc. a village in southern Vietnam, which was completely wiped out in 1978. with three people surviving this massacre.
The inspiration for this photo was the contrast between the two events.
I was in this area to collect material for my documentary, when I came upon this place.
The peace, the beauty is obviously the opposite of what ever took place here. for me it is an important point to convey, that despite the terrible event that took place here. It is a truly beautiful and unique environment in southern Vietnam and, in fact, I dare say Vietnam in general.
