Land of Mine
A group of teenage German prisoners must race against time to clear deadly sea‑mines from Denmark’s coast under the watchful eye of a stern sergeant, risking death and confronting their own humanity in the war’s bleak aftermath.
“They survived the second World War, now they must survive the cleanup”
Synopsis
In the days following the surrender of Germany in May 1945, a group of young German prisoners of war was handed over to the Danish authorities and subsequently sent to the West Coast. They were ordered to remove the more than two million mines that the Germans had placed in the sand along the coast. With their bare hands, crawling around in the sand, the boys were forced to perform the dangerous work under the leadership of a Danish sergeant.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 33
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
