“A powerful and timely film. In this awful American moment we’re living through, people are seeking to reconcile some national historical mistakes. And this is a big one.”

Robert Gordon - Director, Best of Enemies

BOMBIE is a harrowing on-the-ground portrait of the ongoing efforts made by those putting their lives on the line in the most heavily-bombed nation on Earth: Laos. The war ended in 1974, but the story continued for decades in silence. In the northern province of Xieng Khouang, where "bombs fell like rain," a team of detonators search bomb-tainted fields, an American NGO fight to build new schools, a father rebuilds his family home despite lost limbs and crippling PTSD, and more. What is the legacy of a secret war and how does a country move forward when empathy seems in short supply from the perpetrators? BOMBIE is an emotional cinematic experience that is guaranteed to educate, enlighten, and convict.
