I don't exactly remember how i came to this site. Its an Nvidia site called speakvisual.com. Theres info about different kinds of artists, who use computers as a tool. One of them was Emily Taguchi. I was reading through her profile and it said she was a "journalist and a filmmaker who travels the world looking for stories to tell - human stories that provide a better understanding of the world as it is and as it could be." I just had to know more about her and her work. So I found one of her documentaries on PBS called "The silk grandmothers." Its this documentary she made of the revival of the silk making tradition in Cambodia.
You can find it here.
Its not the most glamorous documentaries, but it is worth watching. There is this moment in the documentary where Morimoto (the guy who came to cambodia from japan and setup the silk weaving institute) is talking about why. And he says "Simply, I have a love for fabrics." There is just pure joy in his voice.
