Protector

Summary

Mr. SARL Plerng is 42 years old and lives in Tangse Ma-lu village, Nhang commune, Andong Meas district in Ratanakiri province. Jarai people have been weaving chicken coops from bamboo since the time of their ancestors. This weaving is an indicator of Jarai culture and identity. He would like to show it to the younger generation so they recognise and do not forget the achievements of their own culture.

Biography

I am Mr. KLAN Tang, of the Jarai indigenous ethnicity, and I live in Tangse Ma-lu village, Nhang commune, Andong Meas district in Ratanakiri province. I’m a member of Tangse Ma-lu Youth. In my free time, I like to do community work.

Impression

I wanted to make this film because young people today do not pay much attention to Tampuan culture and tradition and I want to document it so that the next generation will know and understand about the material that indigenous people used.
