Thai One On by Cinema Digital  Deep in the pristine jungle of northern Thailand lies the Mae Ngao. Literally translated Mae Ngao means the River of Reflection. Named for its crystal clear water, the Mae Ngao is home to the legendary Mahseer. A species first prized by British anglers during the days of the Raj. Known as the aquatic tiger of the Asian subcontinent the Mahseer is revered for its phenomenal fight. Filmmaker Travis Lowe follows three anglers and a local guide as they work with hill tribe villagers to protect the entire 60km length of the River of Reflection. Hoping to protect critical habitat for the Golden Mahseer and open up the area as a world-class destination fishery. In the process, the group helps bring desperately needed money to the cash starved Karen villagers in turn protecting an endangered species - a feat that entails a witch doctor, a spirit curse and quite possibly the introduction of fish aquaculture. |
