The documentary film *Voices from the Mines* captures the personal recollections of former miners from Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy, and Spain, as well as women and residents of mining regions. Through their testimonies, it reveals the daily reality of mine work—the harsh conditions, fear, risks, illnesses, and accidents—alongside a strong sense of solidarity and pride. The film explores how mining shaped not only the lives of individuals and their families but also entire towns, the landscape, and the collective memory of communities. In the film, the mines emerge as sites of work, survival, and identity—an identity that endures even after the mines have closed.
