Land Mine' - A Heart wrenching WWII Drama Based on a True Story

In this gripping World War II drama film directed by Martin Zandvliet and based on real events described in the book 'Minensäuger' (Mine Clearers) by Thomas Buwer, we are taken to the Danish coast at the end of hostilities. The war has ended but for a group of young German prisoners-of-war, their fight is far from over.

After being captured by the Danish army following Germany's surrender in May 1945, hundreds of teenage boys who had been conscripted into Hitler Youth are forced to defuse and clear millions of land mines left behind on the coast. With little or no training, these young men must face their deathly task head-on.

As they grapple with the psychological trauma of war and loss, the boys also struggle against each other in a desperate bid for survival. The film masterfully captures the harrowing experiences faced by these innocent victims of conflict through powerful performances from its largely unknown cast.

'Land Mine' is an emotional roller coaster that will leave viewers on edge as they root for their characters' survival amidst danger at every turn - but be warned, it comes with a strong R rating due to graphic violence and mature themes.
