Remnants of a War

SESSION 4 (October 9th, 7-10:30pm) 

 

 

 

 

Lebanon, 2009, 76 min.

Director/Producer: Jawad Metni

During the 33 days of fighting, Israel dropped more than one million cluster bomb munitions onto the fields, orchards and towns of Lebanon with an estimated 35% of these cluster bombs failing to detonate upon impact, leaving the mine-like devices scattered over the countryside.  In 2007, teams of locally recruited and trained de-miners race to locate and deactivate the bombs before more innocent civilians are injured.  Remnants of a War takes an intimate look into the lives of these brave workers who work shoulder to shoulder in the sweltering heat to make their lands available for ranching, farming and for children to safely play upon once again.
