Dreams of the Settlers

Dreams of the Settlers

The vast Delta of the Mississippi River is the gateway to the South of the United States. It always has been. This is where our journey begins: through Louisiana along the banks of the mighty river, to the big inland city of New Orleans, founded long ago by the French. Further inland, sugarcane plantations and the villas of their former owners stretch as far as the eye can see. To the north, we leave the river and, taking spectacular roads, we pass through the swamplands of the Mississippi, which were once impenetrable, serving as the ideal hideout for many a runaway. Bordering Texas, where the swamplands end, is the beginning of the vast cattle country. This is home to the last remaining cowboys in the United States who, still today, maintain their French cultural heritage.

Dreams of the Settlers

Dreams of the Settlers

It's a dream route leading from the casino metropolis of Las Vegas, to Salt Lake City, the Mormon capital. It is a journey that follows the footsteps of the first settlers: the Mormons. They came to this desert belt of the United States during the second half of the 19th century to escape persecution and in search of the promised land. Some of them founded Las Vegas. Others moved through the canyons and over the mountains of the colossal Colorado Plateau, where they found water and pasture, to establish many small settlements. The landscapes through which they trekked, had and still have, a breathtaking and bizarre majestic beauty. Bryce Canyon, the hogbacks and the Escalante Staircase plateau are dramatic scenes of wonder formed from rock. The Pajute Indians once described Bryce Canyon as: “red rocks standing like men in a basin”.

Street of Gongs

Street of Gongs

In Thailand's rural northeast you will find the street of Gongs. Outside the provincial capital of Ubon Ratchatani in Thailand's rural northeast, a country road nearly thirty kilometers long stretches to the banks of the Mekong River. Even from a distance, you can hear what is being made there: gongs of all sizes in nearly 50 manufactories. The gong is considered the ancient instrument and symbol of Asia. It occupies an important cultural significance, initiates rituals, expels demons, gives strength and courage. This film visits the creators of these unique instruments - a family business that has been laboriously handcrafting gongs for generations. They have a big mission: The abbot of the temple has ordered a new, large gong for the upcoming festival. Will they be able to finish it in time?
