BANÍCKY STAV
In Slovakia's lignite mine Nováky, we witness the poignant final shifts of miners as they face the end of a coal mining era in Slovakia. The film captures their camaraderie and resilience in the midst of closure. Produced for RTVS Slovak Television "Banícky stav" serves as a social document, reflecting on the community's farewell to its livelihood and the dawn of a new chapter for Slovakia.
