Remnants of a War| 1hr : 14mins

Synopsis:
In the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel, one million cluster bomb munitions rained down upon the fields, orchards and villages of South Lebanon. An estimated 30% failed to detonate. Three years later, teams of locally recruited and trained deminers race to clear the land before more civilians are injured or killed. "Remnants of a War" is a feature documentary, photographed in beautiful high definition, that takes an intimate look into the lives of these brave men and women. They are everyday people doing extraordinary work: a young couple saving for an apartment so they can finally get married; a Palestinian medic, traumatized by his experience of the war, who now nervously watches over the demining teams; a recently-divorced young woman who works alongside the men as she contends with rigid social constraints; and a man who must work his contaminated orange grove with his father and brother to help pay the bills. Director Jawad Metni filmed for over two years in Lebanon, spending months embedded with the demining teams in the field, and capturing moments of joy, anxiety, and resilience. "Remnants of a War" is a primer on the cluster munition problem, and a portrait of a people struggling to make a decent living and return the land to their fellow Lebanese.
