Lebanon Cluster Bomb
In the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel, one million cluster bomb munitions rained down upon the green fields and orchards of South Lebanon, the majority in the final 3 days. An estimated 35% failed to detonate. One year later, teams of locally recruited and trained deminers race to clear the land before more civilians are injured or killed.
Lebanon Cluster Bomb is a feature length documentary, photographed in beautiful high definition, that takes an intimate look into the lives of these brave Muslims and Christians, Sunnis and Shia, women and men. They work shoulder to shoulder to make their land safe again, while their country endures the worst political and economic crisis in 15 years.
