Playing and Waiting - 1x14’ - English
March 2005

The NGO Right to Play tries to develop sport activities for the Burmese refugees living in Tham Hin camp, Thailand. We discover those activities through the portraits of three Burmese refugees, enabling us to better understand the life, problems, and hopes of the inhabitants of Tham Hin.
First there is Eh Say, 31 years old, a married man father of 3 children who were born in the camp. Eh Say has been waiting for 9 years to be allowed to migrate to a host country. He is the local coordinator for sport activities in the camp.
Then there is Ley Ley, a 13-year-old girl who would like to become a professional basketball player.
And finally, Sevehth, a 5-year-old boy who attends the camp school, and takes part in the games organised for the children of his age.
