McLane 121 @ Fresno State
admission is free
open to the public
Director: Jack Silberman. 57 min. Between 1964 and 1973 the United
States conducted a secret air war, dropping over 2 million tons of
bombs and making tiny Laos the most heavily bombed country in
history. Millions of these 'cluster bombs' did not explode when
dropped, leaving the country massively contaminated with 'bombies' as
dangerous now as when they fell 30 years ago. Bombies examines the
problem of unexploded cluster bombs through the personal experiences
of a group of Laotians and foreigners and argues for their
elimination as a weapon of war. Unfortunately they are still a
standard part of the US arsenal and were dropped in Kosovo,
Afghanistan and Iraq.
