From hiking ancient rice terraces to canoeing down rivers, we explore film culture in this unique island nation described as having three centuries in the convent and 50 years in Hollywood. We visit Martika, a director and established cinematographer who tells personal stories with a quirky twist. We explore Vietnam War-themed films made here and meet some of the leaders in today's local industry.
