Recognizing that the economic disparities resulting from privilege and exacerbated by the pandemic are a barrier to engagement, in 2021, NDHRFF has completely removed financial barriers to engage with the festival. As a result, access to the festival's programming is entirely free and accessible to all. All passes and individual film screenings are pay-as-you-can. As your individual situation allows, you are welcome to make a donation to the festival to help support our work.
Films are available to screen midnight, Tuesday, November 2 through midnight, Thursday, November 18.
Films in the North Dakota Human Rights Film Festival have not been rated for adult content and may include violence, nudity, language, and adult situations. Viewer discretion is advised.
Lena Chyzh and Oleksii Yaresko are working as deminers. Together with their colleagues, they are trying to clear the eastern part of Ukraine of unexploded ordnance, booby traps, and mines.
The film presents a sensitive picture of life in eastern Ukraine and how it has changed drastically for the people living there since the outbreak of the war in 2014.
While the rest of the world has lost interest, the Ukrainians are trying to regain everyday life in a very dangerous area.
Seven years ago the war started and since then about 16,000 square kilometers in Ukraine have been contaminated by war material. Playing children as well as farmers are often victims of explosive objects. In 2017, Ukraine was ranked first place of countries in which most accidents with anti-tank mines happened - even more than in countries such as Libya, Mali or Syria.
Landmines, explosive remnants of war, and improvised explosive devices still kill or maim thousands of people around the world each year. The film provides insights into how difficult and tedious humanitarian demining is and how this makes it possible to return the land to the people.
