Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe actors were trained in mine clearance 'anno 1945' at the Military Training Compound 'Oksbøl.' During training, they found a 'live' mine that had been there for 70+ years--and it was in fine working condition. The mine was removed and disarmed by the Danish de-mining experts.
- GoofsThe boys always have 'fresh' haircuts throughout a film that covers three months. It's unlikely that they had a barber at hand, or even a pair of scissors.
- Quotes
Lt. Ebbe Jensen: If they are old enough to go to war, they are old enough to clean up.

Featured review
There's a weird double edge sword going on here. Though I can't blame the Danish for being so cruel to the Germans so soon after the war ended, it's difficult in this PC world of 2017 to see this happening.
Denmark forces German soldiers to clean up their mess (A series of beaches infected with their land mines) before they can go home. Making this task even crueler is the soldiers doing it don't look old enough to smoke a cigarette.
It was a very honest look at the aftermath of war. The Danish military were treating the German's worse than dogs, though Germany deserved it for the part they played in WWII. Land of Mine is a focus on humanity as one Danish Commanding officer must find this with a group of German boys he commands like they were slaves
Land of Mine was at times hard to look at, especially when these kids were getting blown up. A little too real on how land mines work. One minute you're there, the next minute you're gone. Sometimes you saw the explosion coming, and then they surprise you with one you didn't. It strangely added to the drama.
Land of Mine was an interesting look on what it takes to turn the other cheek and forgive the enemy.
