The US Bombs Still Killing Civilians In Laos After 50 Years | Bomb Harvest

Bomb Harvest is a documentary that delve into the aftermath of the Vietnam War in Laos, where over 2 million tons of bombs were dropped by the United States, leaving behind a deadly legacy of unexploded ordnance. With over 12,000 casualties since the war's end, rural communities grapple with poverty and danger as they rely on scavenging scrap metal from bomb sites. Efforts to remove these bombs face challenges due to a shortage of trained personnel and the lucrative but perilous illegal scrap metal trade. The documentary highlights the complex and risky process of bomb disposal while shedding light on the human toll and ongoing struggles in post-war Laos.
