Tiramisu in the spotlight: Vorsicht Minen! (Caution Mines!) A documentary was aired on the 4th of April on Austrian TV.

Following two years of filming, a documentary on Humanitarian Demining and Mine Risks was aired on the 4th of April on the Austrian Channel ORF (Österreichischer Rundfunk). The documentary highlights the dangers related to land mines and Unexploded Ordnance (UXOs) that still exist in many nations across the world, and aims to raise awareness of the tasks performed by professional demining personnel as well as the inherent risks associated with mine clearance activities. ORF collaborated with representatives from TIRAMISU, in order to gather video footage of the trials carried out in the framework of the project. Key members of the project team were interviewed to provide audiences with a unique insight into the work of the Humanitarian Demining community, with a particular emphasis on continued efforts to improve the efficiency and safety of mine removal initiatives. The documentary was aired on the ORF alpha channel in prime time. A podcast of the show is also available through the following link: http://www.atube.at/alpha/index.php?p=beitrag&i=164&format=
