The Battle for the Harbour of Peace (overview)

Lars Borking, Denmark, 2021

86 min.Series (documentary)

A story about a group of homeless people, boat squatting in central Copenhagen. We follow the circus trained entertainer Storken and the former boat builder Esben in their struggles, sharing space, beers and weed, ups and downs. Do they demonstrate against politicians and neighbours, or try to convince their opponents by being exemplary good neighbours and use the clearing of the area for the benefit of the environment and local wildlife? It’s the collision between high and low: the upper echelon of citizens and politicians versus the homeless watersquatters. But will Esben and Stork succeed and save the Habour Of Peace?
