Childhood in the Midst of Mines

 

About the film

"We're deprived from playing because of the landmines, and our families are not able to cultivate the land." Israel left many landmines in South Lebanon when they withdrew from the country in May, 2000. Following Israel's withdrawal, many children continued to be injured by these mines. This film aims to prompt both government and public action to remedy this situation.
