Documentary looking at the world of landmine and bomb disposal. Donald MacDonald offers a glimpse into his working life, which is spent disposing of landmines and bombs.

Tha Cunnart a' tairgse boillsgeadh air a shaoghal. Ann an Afghanistan, tha d霉bhlain gu le貌r roimhe ann an sg矛re far nach eil f脿ilte dha chuir air. 'S e Sudan a Deas an d霉thaich as 霉ire san t-saoghal. Tha D貌mhnall a' s脿s ann a bhith a' fastadh agus a' tr猫anadh sgiobaidhean gus Sudan a Deas a ghlanadh den armachd nach do spreadh, a tha a g脿nrachadh na d霉thcha 脿s d猫idh c貌rr is fichead bliadhna de chogadh sh矛obhalta.

'S e Laos an d霉thaich as motha a chaidh a sgrios le bomaichean ann an eachdraidh an t-saoghail. Chuir D貌mhnall seachad c貌ig bliadhna an sin agus muinntir an 脿ite nan 猫iginn caoidhteas fhaighinn de dh矛leab mh矛llteach Cogadh Bhietnam. Bho theaghlach, tha sinn a' cluinntinn cho moiteil agus a tha iad anns an obair a tha e a' d猫anamh gus beatha dhaoine a shabhaladh ach cuideachd mun bhuaidh a tha a dhreuchd air a thoirt orrasan.

'Cunnart' offers a glimpse into the world of Donald MacDonald, who spent the last twenty years disposing of landmines and bombs in some of the world's most troubled regions. In South Sudan, Donald is tasked with organising teams and recruiting locals, to clear land littered with unexploded bombs and landmines after a civil war which lasted over two decades.

He recalls his time in Laos, the most bombed country in the world, where the locals were desperate for their contaminated land to be freed from bombs and landmines, a legacy of the Vietnam War.

Speaking to his family, we gain an insight into their pride in his job, where he saves lives, but also on the impact that it has had on their lives as he continues to work in places that most of us would never dream of going to, doing a job which would terrify the majority of people.
