Vientiane is the capital of Laos, a landlocked country in Southeast Asia. In a nearby village, one company is producing a premium rum that's winning countless international awards. The brand is jointly owned by Japanese Ikuzo Inoue and Laotian Sihattha Rasphone. The company's aim is to create employment for Laotians and improve living conditions. They employ young locals who have no other employment prospects nearby. How is this small village in rural Laos producing world-class rum? And how is this changing the lives of locals?
