Cambodia: Living with Landmines

David Bruce McMahan's philanthropy organization, McMahan Center-Abilities Activists, along with The World Rehabilitation Fund, have recognized the enormity of what the inhabitants of Veal Thom have already accomplished - that is, to refuse to let themselves be defined by their disabilities. They have designed a unique peer-to-peer training program that brings vocational training to the villagers, who in turn train their neighbors. The training has enabled over 150 people to work at new jobs or start new businesses. This film shows the human cost of landmines, which are designed to maim, not kill, the training process for these amputees and their courage and persistence in the face of overwhelming odds as they build a new life for themselves.
