My Movie: The Miner + Introduction

The Miner is a documentary about the evacuation of civilians from frontline territories through the eyes of a volunteer who rescues people from under shelling. Or rather, tries to, because far from everyone agrees to leave. Why do many stay even when explosions happen nearby? Some refuse to abandon their homes, some take care of relatives, and others don't believe things will be better anywhere else. Everyone has their own reason. And this film attempts to tell the story of most of them. The film is about both those who stayed and those trying to evacuate them — despite the risk, exhaustion, and fear. Some volunteers will never return. But others go back again and again. Because someone has to do it.

This My Movie is presented by Notts Ukraine Solidarity and Plast (Scouts).
