69
Dir(s): Nikolaj Viborg
Program: World Showcase
Run Time: 60 | Denmark | Language: (Subtitled in English) Danish
Since 1982, the Youth House on the outskirts of Copenhagen has provided a safe haven for punks, queers, freaks, and pretty much anyone else who doesn't fit into society. When local government votes to remove the outsiders, they refuse to go down without a fight. 69 provides incredible access to the activists whose situational pranks and media spin give way to violent protests and arrests. This is a battle royale between the establishment and the disenfranchised-youth facing off against police, squatters resisting condo developers, anarchists debating politicians. What's at stake? A sense of belonging and a place to call home. What happens to democracy when you don't have a say in it? Deny people their individuality and watch them explode! A suspenseful primer on what happens when both sides refuse to negotiate. Angie Driscoll.
