LAND MINES A Love Story is the latest film from Dennis O`Rourke (Half Life, "Cannibal Tours", The Good Woman of Bangkok). With compelling naturalness, the film tells the story of Habiba and Shah who have experienced immense suffering in their country of Afghanistan because of the wars fought there over the past 25 years. But they have survived to show how it's possible to be brave and moral in this world of sanctioned violence and official lies.
Habiba and Shah are illiterate, yet they speak with great eloquence and conviction about how war and conflict have affected their lives. They discuss international events and moral issues from a perspective that is so far removed from our own. Their insights into the state of the world, and their example of how to live, are enough to shame our leaders in the west, and us too.
