Death in Hands

They are former soldiers or helpful volunteers. Together they hunt for the improvised explosive devices (IED) that were left behind by the IS terrorists. After the civil war a field of debris with countless booby traps remained, which still claims victims today and make a new beginning impossible - the late revenge of the IS on the lost terrain. Without metal detectors, protective gears nor fear for their lives, these family men disarm the boobytraps hidden among the ruins of Libya to save what’s left of their homeland. Death in Hands shows the almost hopeless attempt to clean Benghazi of these explosive devices. A haunting film that lets the viewer feel the enormous tension of the mine clearers and sometimes also the cameraman during this life-threatening work.
