Floating tomatoes is a 34 minute documentary by Burmese filmmaker Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi. Water, “Floating Tomatoes” was filmed on the beautiful Inle lake known for its Intha people and their unique leg rowing tradition. Surrounded by mountains, the fresh water lake is situated at 2900 feet and is the second largest lake in Myanmar.
The film’s cinematography is simply gorgeous. It is a poignant portrait of a hard working fisherman/farmer family with two children who farm tomatoes on a floating garden. The film tastefully reveals the unique Intha subculture of leg rowing and floating gardens on the Inle lake and the life of an Intha family.

Irish film producer Gary Moore said the film, based on a Karen girl who flees from the fighting in Burma, is a story that throws highlight on the reality of Karen life and the lives of Burmese in general.
The film star, 11-year-old Karen refugee Ronnachai Mai Whittio, or Mai for short, who Moore found through “street casting”––searching for talent among non-professionals to play the lead role, as happened with the casting of slum children in the 2008 Hollywood hit, “Slumdog Millionaire.”

1. Ko Kelvin Lwin (Lecturer/Academic Coordinator, UC Merced)
Dr. Kelvin Lwin managed to only pass fifth grade in Mandalay, Burma. After hearrived to America, he discovered the low level of competition so
spent his time honing his skills by watching TV religiously. He ended
up in Berkeley because it is the only school that accepted him. Once
he realized how difficult real life is, he appreciate the value of
school even more. He got his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2009. Now, he figured out
a way to always have summer vacation by staying in school and
watching others suffer by teaching Computer Science and
Engineering courses in UC MERCED!
