Laos is the most heavily bombed country per capita in human history — yet most people have never heard the full story.
From 1964 to 1973, more than 2 million tons of explosives were dropped during the “Secret War.” Half a century later, millions of unexploded bomblets remain buried beneath fields, villages, and forests, quietly shaping daily life in ways the world rarely sees.
In my new documentary, I travel through Vientiane and rural Laos to bring this overlooked reality into focus:
🔸 Farmers working land still filled with hidden danger
🔸 Children growing up surrounded by unexploded ordnance
🔸 Families forever changed by a single moment
🔸 A nation carrying the weight of a war it never chose
We visit an orthopedic center building artificial limbs for survivors, a school supporting blind children, and a UXO clearance team risking their safety to reclaim the land inch by inch.
This isn’t just history — it’s the ongoing reality of Laos.
If you want to understand a chapter of global history the world has overlooked, I hope you’ll take a moment to watch.
