Voices from a Shattered Land - Landmines - Mozambique

Описание: Zoe Graham, a British filmmaker and journalist, travelled to Mozambique in June 2010 to create a documentary on landmine victims, to see what has been done for them since the end of civil war in 1992.

After three decades of war, Mozambique was one of the most ravaged and heavily land mined countries on earth. Over the years, the issue has fallen off many donors' agendas but landmines continue to pose a threat to people today. Thousands of victims over the last forty years have never received medical attention or the chance to emotionally heal.

Zoe's documentary gives a voice to these innocent victims of a legacy that is out of their control.

"Voices from a Shattered Land" tells the stories of four landmine victims: Celso, a 10 year old boy who stepped on a landmine two years ago; Augusto, a 72 year old man who has been left to fend for himself for the last 32 years and Rosa and Helena, single mothers struggling to provide for their children.

The documentary looks at the work being carried out by Handicap International and RAVIM- a local NGO set up by two landmine survivors in 2005- dedicated to improving the lives of landmine victims in Mozambique.
