Christiania tells the story of a squatter community occupying an abandoned miIitary base in the center of Copenhagen, Denmark. Christiania was born in 1971 when youthful idealism and a severe housing shortage incited hundreds of young peopIe to occupy 85 acres of deserted brick buildings, woods, ramparts and canals as their home. Finding it politicalIy unpopuIar to evict the young settlers, the Danish government declared Christiania a "short-term sociaI experiment". Over forty years Iater, Christiania is stilI standing. Through interviews with longtime Christiania residents and poIice and government officials, Christiania expIores consensus democracy, aIternative buiIding methods, drug policy and Scandinavian cuIture in a provocative and often humorous character study of this fascinating community. |
