Description:

In this gripping documentary, viewers are taken on a harrowing journey through a little-known chapter in World War II history: the actions of the Danish resistance movement against its own citizens who collaborated with the Nazis. As the Nazi occupation of Denmark progressed, the resistance felt compelled to take matters into their own hands, executing around 400 informers in an effort to protect their fellow countrymen from potential harm. However, this bold act was met with controversy, and the Danish government orchestrated a cover-up to keep the truth hidden from the public eye for decades. The film expertly intertwines archival footage, firsthand accounts, and interviews with historians to shed light on this complex period, offering an intimate look at the moral dilemmas faced by the resistance fighters as they grappled with their duty to protect Denmark against the harsh realities of wartime.
