We Were at Our Own Field

About This Movie

We Were at Our Own Field is a fascinating glimpse into a time when Lithuania was just starting to peel back the layers of its occupation by the Soviets. The pacing flows slowly, almost contemplatively, allowing you to really soak in the stories of pain and resilience. The interviews and archival footage mix in a raw, unfiltered way that pulls you into the collective memory of a nation grappling with its past. What stands out is the haunting atmosphere — you can almost feel the longing for home echoing through the narratives. The documentary isn’t just about the struggle; it’s about the human spirit and the deep scars left behind. It’s a reflective piece, a historical artifact that feels essential in understanding that period.
