Listen to Bomb Hunters, Angela Robson's BBC World Service report on the Laotian citizens turning to a lucrative but deadly trade just to keep food on the table.

Read more about the dangers facing the Laotian bomb hunters in Angela's article 'Laos reaps a deadly harvest' published in Le Monde Diplomatique.

Download this Le Monde Diplomatique podcast interview in which Angela describes how many of the cluster bombs failed to detonate and remain at large.
