520 |a In this program, we'll meet an extraordinary people whose culture is threatened by extinction in the modern era. For centuries, a remarkable group of seafaring nomads known as the Moken have lived quietly in the idyllic Megui Archipelago off the southern coast of Myanmar-also known as Burma-sleeping on their boats and existing in harmony with the natural world. The functionalism and simplicity of this life has depended on the isolation of its adaptable practitioners, and their ability to navigate new surroundings with ease and safety. Now though, the peace has been shattered, and the islands and their people are under threat from loggers, fishermen, entrepreneurs, and Myanmar's military government. This program examines the Moken people's struggle to survive in a harsh modern world and illustrates the strength, customs, and identity of their fascinating community, possibly before it vanishes for good
