Aki Ra’s Cambodian Landmine Museum (1999)

In 1999, I was in Cambodia filming a story about landmine survivors, when my crew and I came across this odd museum and its affable founder: Aki Ra. It was my first project as a backpack VJ, and I was shooting on mini-DV tapes with Panasonic camcorder and wireless mics. This is a recent edit of the footage with updated info about the landmine museum. In one scene, Aki Ra shows how to disarm a landmine. More info on Aki Ra’s landmine museum can be found at
