The sun rises slowly over a vast watery field covered in the haze of early morning. Shadowy figures, their heads swathed in checkered kramas, move along raised dikes carrying baskets of rice shoots for planting. A lone cyclist rides slowly across the scene and dismounts. Under these images, we hear the sounds of the countryside at dawn. This is Cambodia.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Saskatchewan prairies and the natural beauty of Cambodia, "Marie's Story" profiles the life's journey of Canada's Marie Ens - wife, mother, missionary and tireless advocate of the poor, the sick and the disenfranchised.
