From 1964 to 1973, the United States dropped a planeload of cluster bombs (about 100 per sortie) onto Laos every eight minutes, day and night — the equivalent of more than half a ton of bombs for every man, woman, and child. Many of these bombs still litter the Laotian landscape and remain live, rendering the largely poor, rural population vulnerable to explosions 25 years after the CIA-funded secret war has ended. Filmmaker Kim Mordaunt and producer Sylvia Wilczynski follow Australian Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technician Laith Stevens as he trains young Laotians to become certified bomb technicians themselves, learning to recognize and neutralize the estimated 30 percent of unexploded ordnance (UXO) still lying in wait. As these young technicians learn their new trade, we meet the villagers haunted by the effects of this illegal war and encounter the new economy that prizes UXO for its scrap metal value.
