What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was captivated by the traditional Karen lifestyle, specifically the process of catching small river fish and tadpoles to cook a meal in the jungle. He was particularly fascinated by the 'kenyan,' a unique cold water curry made with roasted fish and fermented soybeans. Mark highlighted the beauty of the karst mountain landscape and the refreshing experience of eating natural, foraged food by the river.
