Thank you Anou for weaving your craft, your love of the people, and the country into your own tapestry. Love your Grandma examined your work under her magnifying glass.🙏
How i wish i could learn how to weave. What beautiful work you all create. How nice you are to the people that work for you. It seems like a beautiful country and the smiles of the faces makes your heart happy. Keep doing what you are doing
I love the spirituality and creativity of Laos. This video was amazing. Great seeing the artisans at work. Would love to visit Laos and emerge myself in all that craft. I like to knit, crochet and sew and could quite happily live out my remaining years on planet earth in this environment doing what I love and being paid for it. Grandma is such a delight❤ UK🇬🇧
A beautiful and interesting documentary about a creative man finding his creative and spiritual home. I do hope that the weavers are given some time to themselves, and to visit with their families - their work is so intense and absorbing - the results so elegant and refined.
I visited Laos in August of 1975 for two weeks just before the Pathet Lao took over and the country closed. It was too dangerous to go anywhere beyond Vientienne. The textiles are marvelous. It makes me very sad to see a young woman weaving traditional cloth, but wearing ugly jeans and t-shirt. It is literally true that every piece of cloth in the market is more beautiful than the next. The more you know about it, the more beautiful and meaningful it becomes. Such art and good work should be protected and never lost. Thank you for showing us about this. It fills a hole of knowledge left by the travel restrictions of the time.
Plus, at least she could go home to her family and still be a person outside of work. Those other women were cheep labor and held captive not the same kind of prosperity if you can not give a living wage to your employees and expect them to sleep under the masters table and work all day in a cold isolated environment. His Western way of business does not empress me, nor does his expectation of perfection be appreciated from the West. That so-called business conversation was just as heartless and none memorable as the environment those women are forced to work in. Your work is perfection that will always remain the bottom of the cardboard box. However, the only perfection of this document was that women's doing the labor she is worth more than those textiles all together and in my eyes, and that is what I will remember. She and her tears were seen, and Heard without a closeup or word. It is very disturbing, and i am saddened that in today's day and age, business is so calculated and cold.
They are very beautiful and generous people , the woman are so strong and grounded . You don’t see the men much it’s the women that have the knowledge and the strength ! Bless them 🙏🙏🙏 ,
He who has all he needs but weaving tears, not gratitude, is no more all his needs are greater than his. It was a great story of this attempt to keep tradition. His perfection has no history, no heart, only looking for perfection is his glory. Those women are human, not automated. Their work is beyond high walls and grand windows. Those women work way too hard for that dismissive treatment and vacant empathy. Quick to point out his mistakes and hold them responsible for his perfection is controlling and was uncomfortable to witness. Let them go home at night they are not your slaves. It's a job, not a holding facility. He is missing the art of freedom. There is no amount of perfection that will ever come close to that when having no empathy or compassion to those you so-called employ. If you didn't like the answer, you should have not asked her to know you removed those and still held her responsible to unravel and fix it again. Your loss of humanity reflects in those who work for you, not the other way around.

Wonderful documentary!
Beautiful women, amazing work they do, working the land, the home, the children and then the weaving!
Not a man around just them shows more strength than most men could ever do.
