Synopse
In 2007, a Slovenian miner of Bosnian origin was sent to break into a sealed mine and report on what is inside. After 2 years of risking his life working in extremely dangerous conditions, he discovered a hidden mass grave of 4000 war refugees killed after the end of WW2. This discovery was a shock to the Slovenian society. The miner, Mehmedalija Alic, was made redundant for insisting that the victims be brought out of the mine, identified, and buried.
The director Hanna Slak met Alic in 2010 and helped him to pen his story. In 2013, Alic’ autobiography A NOBODY (Nihče) was published and soon sold out. Slak subsequently adapted it into THE MINER, a fiction film with thriller elements about the miner and his family, his work in the abandoned mine, his persistence to dig out the truth, and his strive for social justice.
THE MINER was the Slovenian entry for Academy Awards 2018, and has been awarded 20 different awards at international film festivals so far, including 3 Awards for Best Actor Leon Lučev.
