Between 1964 and 1973 the United States conducted a secret air war, dropping over 2 million tons of bombs and making tiny Laos the most heavily bombed country in history. 90 million cluster bombs were dropped on Laos. Millions of these 'cluster bombs' did not explode when dropped, leaving the country massively contaminated with 'bombies' as dangerous now as when they fell a quarter century ago, killing people every day, just as they did 30 years ago. Directed by Jack Silberman, 57 mins, 2002. Group discussion follows screening.
