This 4 minute video by National Geographic shows women from the Paduang tribe. They wear brass coils to make their neck longer and shakles on their limbs. This tribe was persecuted in Burma and they found refuge in Thailand. Now they are an attraction for tourists. Students may discuss if this practice to intentionally deform their body is masochistic, an identity mark or a profitable business. There is a comprehension quiz but no transcript or notes.
