105 MinsSweeping mountain winds, animal calls and distant military explosions shape the world of the potent and transportive To Hold a Mountain. In the mountains of Montenegro, Gara and teenage Nada live in uneasy proximity to a NATO military training ground, where the threat of displacement shadows their daily lives. Another danger lingers too: Nada’s father is soon to be released from prison. The film unfolds with remarkable intimacy and watchful restraint as mother and daughter stare down displacement, militarisation and generational trauma. Winner, World Cinema Documentary Grand Jury Prize, Sundance.
