Hotet Mot Demokratin - om Göteborgskravallerna 2001

About This Movie

Hotet Mot Demokratin offers a raw glimpse into the chaos of the Gothenburg riots in 2001, a moment when civil unrest clashed head-on with police authority. The film dives deep into the atmosphere of fear and tension that permeated the streets as protesters rallied against the EU summit. It captures the immediacy of the confrontations, making you feel as if you're right there in the thick of it. The pacing is frenetic, almost overwhelming at times, mirroring the events as they unfolded. The lack of a single guiding narrative voice allows the viewer to interpret the events in a personal way, while the practical effects of real footage draw you into the visceral experience. Plus, the thematic exploration of democracy under threat is strikingly relevant. It’s not just a record of events; it's a contemplation of what it means to protest.
