In the Land of Mines is a documentary that traces Cambodia's journey from a once-glorious kingdom through the horrors of genocide to its present-day. The story follows a powerful central figure a former child soldier turned internationally recognized Hero - who has dedicated his life to help Cambodia, having disarmed over 50,000 landmines.Through his journey and those of survivors, and everyday citizens, we uncover a deeply human story. Their testimonies, paired with sweeping footage of Cambodia's natural beauty and ancient heritage, paint a portrait of a nation fighting to reclaim its land and future like a Phoenix coming out of the ashes. In the Land of Mines is not just a film about war's aftermath - it's a story of courage, restoration, and the power of individuals to heal a wounded nation, one step at a time.
