Raise the Bamboo Curtain: Vietnam, Cambodia, and Burma
Raise the Bamboo Curtain: Vietnam, Cambodia, and Burma
1996, English. Directed by Rick Ray.
This is the original version of the much heralded "Raising The Bamboo Curtain" narrated and produced by legendary travel filmmaker Rick Ray. (Rick later sold partial rights to this program to another producer who hired Martin Sheen to narrate - that cut down and rewritten version is not the same). Sneaking his cameras past Burmese and Cambodian customs officials and getting around the country to produce one of the best travel docs ever made, Rick has outdone himself - again!
