Petch can play guitar better than anyone else in Nabua. He is a young man whose father helped build a spaceship. One evening on the river bank, Petch, with a bottle of beer, sang with our film crew. At one point he started to sing a song about Nabua. He composed it for a 7 August event where the former members of Communist Party of Thailand gather to commemorate the first shoot-out in the field 43 years ago. I incorporate his song with an image of his friend, Kamgiang, whose grandfather was killed by the soldiers in the field not far from his home.

that our children have learned about.

Nabua is a small patch of land.

Here we grow rice and farm peacefully.
