Tears for Laos 1

This film describes the sad legacy that continues to plague the people of Laos. Millions of bombs have littered the lands once fertile and clean for the last 40 years. They continue to hurt, maim and kill once discovered by innocent farmers, children and livestock. They already live in poverty and chronic hunger. Dying young and unnecessarily is adding injury to the atrocities they have to live day to day. I created this film to bring awareness and advocacy to remove these hidden killers and help heal the land of a million elephants and a white parasol.

Where is 1:32? Is it a museum? I was in Xieng Khuang late last year & it is a must visit for all tourists. I actually met up & went on tour with a number of foreign tourists who wanted to learn & know more about our culture & history.

An incredible and moving film, thank you so much for posting it. This is the kind of films that the world needs to know about and see that this is the end result of war. With the amount of bombs drop in Laos and being totally ignored...where are they?? the so call americans...clean up time don't you think???, its sad to see what people back in Laos have to go through...

I deeply appreciate you sharing this with the world. Its all true. Even though there are very very small programs set aside to identify and clear the UXO, it is a drop in the bucket in comparison to aide for other countries. As OS253 mentioned, someone needs to file a claim against the US. However, don't hold your breath for the so called Lao government to do so. Only if there are benefits to lined their own pockets, and with no concern for the Lao people. Yea, communism, worked like a charm.
