"This drawing of mine shows my accident where I lost my hand in the brickyard, in the factory."  In this episode, we take a look inside the brick industry and the pervasive practice of debt bondage made worse by climate change – via a tour of three works of art by a remarkable Cambodian artist, who used to work in a brick kiln...until he couldn’t. 

This series is brought to you by the U.S. Agency for International Development as part of its USAID Asia CTIP project. Check out our guest Chan Phoun's incredible art on Instagram @chan_phoun.
