Telling just one of these several untold true stories of its kind, LAND OF MINE distinctly articulates its premise and summons palpable tension right from the opening frame.

As you could imagine, watching these frightened and innocent youths learning to defuse a land mine before completing the assignment on-site is a harrowing experience. Knowing the fate that awaits if just one wrong move or lapse in concentration occurs is beyond unsettling. But before LAND OF MINE begins to sound like unbearable viewing, the value to be gained from this devastating true story is beautifully depicted, as humanity and friendship are formed from some of the most unexpected places soon after its opening. While there is fear, it is met with bravery. Solitary is comforted by support. LAND OF MINE eloquently demonstrates why these adolescent men became the victims and faced unfathomable punishment for actions they were powerless to sway.

LAND OF MINE is quite a landmark achievement that boasts a precisely written narrative that resoundingly resonates with society of today. Its music score heightens anxiety levels and deepens emotional connections just as intended. Lastly, the venerable and affecting acting performances from each member of its cast contributes greatly to its powerfully conveyed universal themes. Highly recommended.
