"Surviving the Peace" and MAG America show devastation caused by remnants of conflict in Laos.mov

Remnants of conflicts around the world, including unexploded ordnance and landmines, devastate lives of local population, even decades after conflicts have ended. "Surviving the Peace", a documentary that shows such devastation, was filmed in Laos, the most heavily bombed country in history. It was produced for MAG, Mines Advisory Group, an international organization that saves lives and builds futures through the destruction of weapons in conflict-affected countries. It is estimated that more than 110 million active mines are scattered in 70 countries around the world. Since 1989, MAG has worked in over 35 countries and in 1997 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The story, which is a part of "Fireflies in Flight" Initiative, that features extraordinary people doing powerful things around the world, is produced by Mali Phonpadith and Amra Alirejsovic.
