Josh Spear: Check out this incredible Kickstarter
project and support it if you can. I’ve just now become an Executive
Producer. The bracelets shown here (and highlighted in the video) are
made from scrap metal left from bomb scraps in Laos. During the Vietnam
War, the US military dropped more bombs on supply routes in Laos than it
did on all of Europe during World War II.
They can be purchased for only $15. The Kickstarter project is to
create a film documenting the process, the journey, and the work behind
the rehabilitation there.
The peaceBOMB bracelet is
made from Vietnam War-era bombs by rural artisans in a part of Laos
heavily afflicted by the US bombardment during the Secret War,
1964-1973. We want to create video content that shows how, since the
70s, the artisans have taken a constructive approach to the devastation
of war by repurposing bomb metal into spoons and, now, bracelets |
