The Epicocity Project crew is in Laos researching how the proposed Don Sahong Dam may effect the Mekong river for a documentary to air on the this fall, according to . The crew has outfitted kayaks with depth-finders and GPS systems to map water velocity, depth, and gradient, in the hopes of ascertaining migration patterns for different fish species.

As fish are a major local food source, the dam's disruption of migration could have far-reaching effects.
