Backstage at Warped Tour with The Action Design playing the Would You Rather game

Decades of war and internal strife have left Cambodia with one of the highest proportions of people disabled by land mines in the world. The country's only professional sports league is the Cambodian National Volleyball League (Disabled), a scrappy network of volleyball teams whose players once fought against each other in times of civil war and now face each other on the court. They also sponsor a wheelchair racing program which empowers women who would traditionally be confined to their homes. Currently, the national volleyball team is ranked number three in the world, and regularly defeats non-disabled teams including an Australian navy squad which has tasted defeat three years running. These national heroes may have lost limbs to land mines, but they'll still whoop you in volleyball.

GROZNY, Chechnya, Russian Federation, 16 June 2008 -- The legacy of conflict is all over this indoor football field, where 11 young men, all missing a limb, regularly gather to score a goal for beating the odds. A local non-governmental organization know as Laman Az (Chechen for 'Voice of the Mountains') created the football team with help from UNICEF in 2002 as part of the Mine Action Survivor Assistance programme. UNICEF provided the team with basic equipment and restored the premises for training in the only surviving gym in war-torn Grozny. UNICEF's Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States, Maria Calivis, recently visited the team and commended its young members for their courage, calling them "an example for all of us."

July 1998 A revealing portrayal of the daily struggle against being killed or maimed by a lurking mine. Landmines are disabling approximately two hundred people a week in Angola. It is feared that just as many die but the accidents often go unreported. Children are more vulnerable and are the least likely to survive an explosion. They are taught a new macabre playground song: "If you find something and you don't know what it is, don't touch it because you could die". Sensitive questioning reveals the feelings of a generation of wounded children. Daniel is 12 and lost his legs when his friend picked-up a mine. He is lucky - his other 4 friends died. Many kids suffer to walk with the artificial limbs. Antonia cannot bear to use her cumbersome prosthesis. She lives her life between the yard and her bedroom, swinging on her arms to get from Place to Place. A peace-time army of mine-clearers try to clear the fields so people can get on with cultivating desperately-needed food. But it's slow work and for every landmine that's cleared somebody somewhere is laying another deadly mine.

A number of governments are fighting to exclude certain cluster bombs from an international ban. They claim that certain models, including the M85 are non-hazardous as they have self destruct mechanisms and are rendered inactive if they fail to detonate on impact. The M85s bomblets that were dropped on Lebanon in 2006 have been shown to have a failure rate of about 10% and the 'non-hazardous duds' are not as inert as is claimed. This film features a 'non-hazardous dud' in a cement mixer.

Major coffee producing regions of the world have also been the sites of bitter conflict, including Columbia, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Vietnam, Laos, Uganda, Angola and Ethiopia.
