Title: The Strength of Angels

Produced by: Eric Vander Borght, 2000

Length: 85 min

System: VHS-PAL

Language: Khmer

Subtitle: English and French

Summary: "While she was feeding the chickens, Vanna, an eight-year old girl, stepped on an anti-personnel landmine near her village in Cambodia. Her leg was stolen from her. During one year, Vanna, determined and courageous, learned progressively the new limits of her body and to confront stares. Never loosing her charm, dignity, nor her spirit, she persisted in overcoming suffering and regaining her autonomy. It took one year to produce this film, a year during which the director Eric Vander Borght and his team shared the intimacy of Vanna’s family, with the villagers in the northeast of the country, imbibing a certain "khmeritude" made of smiles, strength and nostalgia.

Vanna symbolizes the fate of 600,000 victims of this weapon, and their families, whose rights have been sadly ruined. Today, they continue to hope for massive aid from the international community, an increase in resources committed to mine action and the implementation of the Ottawa Treaty to create a mine-free world."

Title: The story of Omer khan
Produced by: Edouard Winiger/ICRC - 1988
Length: 52 min

System: VHS-PAL

Language: In Arabic, English, French and German
Subtitle: no

Summary: Omer Khan, the hero of this film, is a 13-year-old Afghan boy who was wounded in the war and now lives as a refugee in Pakistan. He has known war all his life. The powerful pull of family ties led Omer and his father to slip back into their country one night to travel to the village of their birth. On the way, Omer had one of his leg blown off when he stepped on a mine. He was brought to the ICRC hospital in Peshawar, a border town in Pakistan. They were able to save his life but today he is crippled, like so many hundreds of others. In this film, which takes us through the different stages of his rehabilitation, Omer describes in moving termshow the war has affected his life and tells us of his hope that some day he will be able to return home.
