Following the fabulous “Grass a nation's battle for life”, which was shown at our last edition, Chang is a revelation – not only is it the obvious prototype for Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack's later masterpiece King Kong, but it is a terrifically entertaining film in its own right.
​
Shot entirely in the Nan District, Siam (Thailand), the film tells the story of a farmer and his family who have settled a small patch of land on the edge of the jungle.
Their survival and existence is a constant struggle against the many wild animals around them – bears, tigers and even chang (elephant in Thai).
