0/10 by 0 users
The Cambodian norry is an improvised rail vehicle, which carries passengers and cargo from rural to urban areas using unused railroad tracks. They have long been a vital way for Cambodians to get around, especially in rural parts where infrastructure is very basic. Now, amidst brisk economic growth, roads are being built and a plan is being implemented to revive the rail system and reopen neglected lines. The norry is gradually becoming obsolete but one operator is determined to continue his business. In this episode, we follow his efforts to survive in the rapidly changing Cambodia.
