1964-1975年越戰期間，美軍在中立國柬埔寨投擲了超過270萬噸的的炸彈，這項數據一直到2000年才被美國政府低調發佈。導演Vandy Rattana走訪了柬埔寨轟炸情況最嚴重的十個省份。當地人把這些遍佈在平原上，宛如隕石坑的大洞稱為「炸彈池塘」。直到今日，他們的生活仍脫離不了戰爭的影響；為了生存，他們發展出與池塘炸彈共存的特殊生活方式。Vandy Rattana以影像為抗爭手段，揭露美軍檔案之外柬埔寨戰後的魔幻寫實地景。

 

In this video, Vandy Rattana looks at the effects of the US bombing in Cambodia on the landscape and people, and the physical and psychological scars that remain from the Khmer Rouge era. American forces dropped 2.7 million tons of bombs in Cambodia during the Vietnam War between 1964 and 1973, a figure that was not publicly acknowledged by the US until 2000. Vandy traveled to ten provinces in Cambodia and interviewed villagers on their memories of the bombings and their relationship to the "Bomb Ponds," as they are referred to in the Khmer language, indicating the US-created bomb craters, which are now idyllic looking bodies of water surrounded by vegetation. The villagers' collective memory spurs us to reconsider the historical impact of such military campaigns and similar acts of violence.
