Film · documentary · 86 min
Directed by Christopher Lockett
Specifically, it is about Bill and Jill Morse, a retired American couple living permanently in Cambodia. The film details their work with Landmine Relief Fund. Inspired by the work of Aki Ra - a former Khmer Rouge conscripted child soldier forced to lay landmines, turned deminer as an adult - the Morses founded Landmine Relief Fund, a U.S. based NGO that raises money for Aki Ra’s demining team, Cambodia Self Help Demining.

If you want to learn more about the mines in Camobida I highly recommend the low-budget documentary Until They're Gone[0], which features a small human-based mine removal effort promoted by Landmine Relief Fund[1]. I read an article in the Economist a couple years about the lingering impacts of mines and ordinance in Cambodia, and it struck me heavily and I looked up more information and came across those. It's horrible that all these ordinances are still maiming people decades after a war that their country was hardly even involved in, but there's also a lot of exciting work and progress being made. A mine-free Cambodia really is possible, and in not that many years!
