In 1971, 800 individuals occupied abandoned barracks in Copenhagen, forming Christiania, an alternative society. "Tales from Christiania" explores this community, shaped by anarchist hippie culture, and governed by consensus democracy. The film captures the daring effort by young women to shut down Pusher Street, Christiania’s hash market, which evolved into Denmark’s most violent area. With unprecedented access to meetings, it highlights Christiania's past and present struggles, showcasing tales like the biker gang attack and the attempt to burn the freetown. Through engaging storytelling, the documentary reflects on the challenges and impact of consensus democracy and Christiania's ongoing journey.
