Livet på gruvkanten

Finlands största dagbrott finns i Pargas, ett 130 meter djupt hål, två kilometer långt. Kalkgruvan är som ett dunkande hjärta mitt i stan, som väsnas,... skakar och sakta slukar både hus och vägar. Av det gamla brukssamhället finns inte mycket kvar. Dokumentären samlar minnen av de sista barnen som växte upp i Pargas Kalks arbetarbostäder, idag ödehus som väntar på att rivas.

Livet på gruvkanten (2023) delves into Finland's largest open-pit mine located in Pargas, a 130-meter-deep hole stretching two kilometers long. This kalkgruvan serves as a metaphorical beating heart in the midst of the town, causing noise, tremors, and slowly engulfing both homes and roads. The once-thriving industrial community now stands as a mere shadow of its former self.

Livet på gruvkanten (2023) offers a poignant reflection on the cost of progress and the resilience of communities faced with the inevitable changes brought by economic development. Experience the essence of a disappearing way of life through the poignant storytelling and archival footage featured in this documentary.
