MINE
2006
On a freezing black night, a TV news team and their militiamen guides tear across a rugged Balkan landscape to break the story of a massacred village. Lost, they wander into a minefield. Hidden snipers are ready to shoot. Forced to endure an uncertain night together, the journalist is impatient to get the story, the cameraman is on his last job before retiring and the militiamen drink, joke and hint at past war crimes they may have committed. Tempers fray, trust is lost and blind drunk a man goes dancing into the minefield.
Loosely based around the true experience of a journalist caught up in a recent war zone, MINE sits somewhere between a John Pilger and a Samuel Beckett experience.
