Sinopsis
Fiction. In 2007, a Slovenian miner of Bosnian origin was sent to break into a sealed mine and report on what is inside. After 2 years of risking his life working in extremely dangerous conditions, he discovered a hidden mass grave of 4000 war refugees killed after the end of WW2. The discovery was a shock to the Slovenian society. The miner, Mehmedalija Alić, was made redundant for insisting that the victims be brought out of the mine, identified, and buried. Based on a true story.
