Power of Place - 13 Overview: "This video program features two case studies on mainland Southeast Asia: Laos: Isolated Heart and Vietnam: Fertile Dreams.
Laos and Vietnam are countries attempting to open their borders to the world after years of isolation due to civil war, political unrest, and physical geographic barriers.
The first case study, Laos: Isolated Heart, shows how physical geographic barriers such as the Mekong River and the mountains that cover seventy percent of this traditionally poor country have led to years of isolation for Laos. Political unrest and military conflict in Southeast Asia during the latter half of the twentieth century has also limited access. Landlocked by five other countries, Laos has no sea access and must rely on ground and air travel to interact with other countries."
