Footprints (Original title)Clusterbomb Footprints (Alternative title)Cluster Bomb Footprints (Help search title)
Date: 2002 (Copyright)Countries: Germany, United KingdomDirector: Ben Hopkins
Synopsis: The film Footprints, less a journalistic piece of reportage and more an audio-visual reflection, shows the damaging effect of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO). The effects do not only maim and kill, they prevent farmers returning to their land, make roads impassable and whole areas uninhabitable. The two main concerns of the film are to depict the debilitating effects of "Explosive Remants of War" (ERW) on civilan populations, and to depict the two-fold nature of the landscape in ERW-contaminated areas; a life-providing environment, and a potentially life-threatening one.
