Invisible Borders: Reportage from
Our Mekong
On
planes, boats, buses, jeeps, motorbikes
and ‘tuk tuk’ – or a
combination of several of these –
16 reporters and photojournalists from
China, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia
and Vietnam spread out across the Mekong
region in pursuit of their cross-border
stories. These reports cover a range of
topics: hydroelectric dam projects , commercial

trade.
Risks and Rewards: Stories from the Philippine
Migration Trail
Millions of people from the Philippines,
a small archipelagic country in South-east
Asia, can be found in more than 100 countries
across all continents. They work as sailors,
staff in hotels and on cruise ships, domestic
workers, engineers, nurses, teachers,
musicians, construction and factory workers.
Filipinos are among the world’s
most globalised nationals, contributing
to many other economies apart from their
own.
