Inspired by The Nobel Prize, and distributed by National Geographic Documentary Films, the five Orlando von Einsiedel-directed short documentaries, produced by Grain Media and Rideback, each gives center stage to the legacy of a different Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.
Into the Fire: In an area of Iraq destroyed by ISIS, Hana Khider leads an all-female team of Yazidi deminers in their attempts to clear the land of mines. Their job involves painstakingly searching for booby traps in bombed out buildings and fields, where one wrong move means certain death.
Hana works for the Mines Advisory Group, an organisation who are part of the ‘International Campaign to Ban Landmines’, a coalition awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997.
*Into the Fire premiered at Telluride Film Festival 2019.
