“The Remnants” is a journey into the contradictions of today’s wars, in which the remains of the conflict always outlive the conflict itself. Laos holds a shocking record: it is the most heavily bombed country in modern history even though it never declared war on other countries. From 1964 up to 1973 American airplanes have dropped more than 2 million explosive devices on Laotian territory while carrying out over 500,000 bombing missions.
