Description: Journey along one of Asia's last great free-flowing rivers, from its glacial birthplace on the Tibetan Plateau to its meeting with the Andaman Sea. This sweeping exploration traces the Salween's dramatic passage through deep gorges, remote highlands, and the diverse homelands of the many ethnic communities who have shaped their lives around its currents. Along the way, it examines the river's extraordinary ecology, the mounting pressures of dam development, and the ongoing struggles of a basin marked by both natural wonder and human conflict. A vivid portrait of a waterway at a crossroads between preservation and transformation.
