Land Mine takes place in the immediate aftermath of the liberation of the Nazi Death Camps of Europe in the late summer of 1945. It’s a story inspired by the testimonial witness of the survivors of those camps and is a tribute to all those who have suffered as a result of violence and oppression in society, both in the past and now in present day in Ukraine and elsewhere. Land Mine and Samuel represent a symbol of hope for all people displaced by war and who have suffered by acts of violence and racial hatred and it is a living reminder of the arrogance and cruelty of power.
