ABOUT THIS FILM
We are working to heighten world awareness and the pressing need to accelerate explosive ordnance disposal in Laos.
"Waiting to Explode" is a documentary about the lingering impacts of nine years of saturation bombing with anti-personnel bombs and other ordnance during the "Secret War" in Laos (1964-1973). We interviewed Fred Branfman (publisher of "Voices from the Plain of Jars") and others who are active in accelerating UXO clearance. "Waiting to Explode" weaves interviews, photographs, and fact sheets while following several victims of anti-personnel bomb explosions as they strive to move forward after their injuries.
