Smiles: The Hypocrisy of Thai Politics
- Synopsis
- Uses vox pops and satire to explore the many contrasts in Thailand between human dignity and its many abuses. A new constitution was meant to elimate political corruption, but Thailand remains a country where the rule of law is not practised but avoided and where vote-rigging is accepted as normal.
