Get a Life

Michael Klint, 2004

In this "dogumentary" two film makers meet the true face of poverty in the developing countries. The film takes place in a remote children's hospital in the northern part of Nigeria (in and around the provincial town Sokoto). It delivers a provocative and raw picture of the lethal, unknown hungers-disease Noma, and at the same time puts our view on the problems in the Third World into perspective.

Masaier på vej

Morten Vest, Robin Schmidt, 2010

A poetic and provocative portrait of indigenous people in the modern world. We meet three Masai and discover how their territory is diminishing, and how the very foundations for their existence are beginning to crumble. We learn about their thoughts on divorce, global warming and development, the latter being as much a threat as a solution.

Under den samme himmel

Ditte Haarløv Johnsen, 2013

Every year thousands of Africans leave their families behind and risk their lives in hope of a better life. Ditte Haarløv Johnsen's new film "Days of Hope" brings us close to these people, providing an inside look at the struggles these emigrants face.

The film moves between the Mauritanian coastal town of Nouadhibou, a starting point for the often fatal journey to Europe; across Sicilian asylums for illegal boat refugees, where those that survive the crossing languish behind bars; and finally - the harsh reality of the streets of Copenhagen.
