Available from all MCC offices. The Past Is Present is a 7-minute video produced by MCC in 1994.
Lao people explain how U.S. bombing during the Vietnam War era continues to affect their lives.
Live baseball-size bombs, known in Laos as bombies, still explode in northern Laos, killing farmers who inadvertently hit them while hoeing and children who mistake them for balls. Tells how MCC and Mines Advisory Group, a British ordnance disposal agency, are training teams of Lao to safely remove the bombies. The Innocent , an 18-minute video produced by MCC in 1994, looks at the question of personal responsibility for violence and suffering in a world where war has become automated by technology. The setting is a courtroom where a judge works to determine who is responsible for the death of a Lao woman working in a field. She was killed when her hoe struck a bomb hidden in the ground.
