July 1998
A revealing portrayal of the daily struggle against being killed or maimed by a lurking mine. Landmines are disabling approximately two hundred people a week in Angola. It is feared that just as many die but the accidents often go unreported. Children are more vulnerable and are the least likely to survive an explosion. They are taught a new macabre playground song: "If you find something and you don't know what it is, don't touch it because you could die". Sensitive questioning reveals the feelings of a generation of wounded children. Daniel is 12 and lost his legs when his friend picked-up a mine. He is lucky - his other 4 friends died. Many kids suffer to walk with the artificial limbs. Antonia cannot bear to use her cumbersome prosthesis. She lives her life between the yard and her bedroom, swinging on her arms to get from Place to Place. A peace-time army of mine-clearers try to clear the fields so people can get on with cultivating desperately-needed food. But it's slow work and for every landmine that's cleared somebody somewhere is laying another deadly mine.

Why is it they have no pitty for one another.... Its disgusting.... Worse than any animal!!!

[maria610421]

I don't know what kind of words there is to describe how important it is for these Arms dealing Mass Murdering Criminals to stop selling Arms to the Poor third world countries, that goes on killing people long after these wars s over. Its a racist agenda that needs to stop these German Nazis have created such poverty, people can't grow food on the land because these criminals have seeked to mine the land to kill the people, to stop food production, people crippled for life, because of racism.

In europe we still digg up bombs and mines, just think how many people will eb maimed and killed in Afrika by the time all the people who planted these devices have long died and been forgotten..

The seeds of Evil indeed, it takes ridiculous little effort to hurt/harm others, but so much strength is needed to even try to deal with the consequences... :(
