Pavlo, together with his team, is clearing the Ukrainian land of mines. He has found his true calling in this work. Each of the heroes has a personal story connected to demining. Above all, they strive to restore silence to Ukrainian soil and safety to Ukrainian homes.
Victor Solodukha and Emil Bakhtiyev are Ukrainian directors from Kyiv. For over ten years, they have worked in the field of visual content, particularly in advertising, development, and pharmaceutical projects. With the beginning of the full-scale war, their focus shifted to socially significant topics — especially humanitarian demining in Ukraine. A deep dive into this issue became the impetus for creating the short documentary film LAND OF SILENCE, which explores the consequences of war for the civilian population and the country’s safety infrastructure.
