Christiania chronicles over 50 years of the famous Copenhagen freetown, one of the world’s most radical social experiments. Through remarkable archival footage, director Karl Friis Forchhammer traces its journey from a 1971 occupation of abandoned barracks to a unique community shaped by freedom, creativity, conflict, drugs, biker gangs, and political struggles. A vivid portrait of a place constantly redefining itself while fighting to survive.
