Summary: The mist-shrouded mountains of northeastern Laos have been called the end of nowhere. Yet, in a place most people don't even know exists, a deadly drama is unfolding.
Between 1964 and 1973 the CIA 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 a quarter century 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 both in Kosovo and now Afghanistan.

Summary: This is a documentary movie divided into a few parts, about the landmines and the consequences of using them. Each part shows different aspect of using mines. One shows surgery and the other how the landmines are built. But the biggest problem of the movie is the suffering of the children who are injured by landmines.
