In the short film, Senior World Affairs Producer Stuart Hughes shares his story of working across the globe with BBC News where in 2003, whilst on assignment in northern Iraq, he triggered an anti-personnel landmine. The blast blew off his right heel and just days later Stuart’s right leg was amputated below the knee.

With over 110 million active landmines globally and nine people killed or maimed by landmines every day, Stuart’s story is just one of many examples of the devastation caused by landmines.
