Hpakant Jade Life
Hpakant, a town in the hilly region near the border with China, has the largest jade mines in Burma. Work in them is much sought-after, especially that gem mining is a lucrative occupation. The vision of quick profits attracts many men who come from across the country in search of the green stone. For many of them, leaving home and trying to stand on their own two feet becomes a trap. Hpakant Jade Life is a story about a group of young men for whom the miner’s job is an opportunity to fulfil even the most modest dreams.
