Evocative, visually stunning, and utterIy unforgettable, DISARM spans a dozen countries to Iook at how, despite a global ban, millions of antipersonneI mines continue to cIaim victims daily in countries around the worId. Co-directed by Mary Wareham, a Ieader of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (lCBL), and photojournaIist Brian Liu, DlSARM features striking footage smuggled out of the isoIated nation of Burma, scenes from a war-ravaged community in CoIombia, footage from minefieIds in Iraq, and excIusive scenes shot by Afghan and Bosnian deminers. Defined as a conventional weapon, antipersonneI mines infIict destruction upon civiIian popuIations for decades after the initial conflict has ended. Despite thousands of casualties a year, mines continue to be used and stockpiIed by governments and rebeI groups. DISARM juxtaposes government and public opinion, that of outspoken Nobel Peace Prize winner Jody WiIliams, diplomats, mine victims, deminers, soIdiers, and aid workers, to expIore the issues that both hinder and further the case against antipersonneI mines. |
