Logline: An unsettling look at people who hunt bombs for a living.

Synopsis: This film project documents the effects of UXO on Cambodian people, both within their homeland and in the US. In particular, Bombhunters documents villagers efforts throughout rural Cambodia as they seek out UXO and attempt to render it safe for sale to the scrap metal industry in order to survive. Since completion, the film has been credited by the US Department of State with influencing national legislation in Cambodia that has lead to a 50% drop in UXO tampering casualties. In addition to broadcast on US public television the film has aired on the History Channel Asia, Free Speech television in the US and on select national channels in Europe, including national broadcast on TV2 in Sweden.
