I have filmed my friends fight for Ungdomshuset |
| 00:00:19 |
I was allowed to film almost everything. |
| 00:00:26 |
I have so far as possible told it |
| 00:00:32 |
Director, Nikolaj Viborg |
| 00:00:36 |
I'm going off on Sunday |
| 00:00:41 |
It's a really special feeling for |
| 00:00:45 |
It can be the last time |
| 00:00:49 |
It looks like it. |
| 00:01:06 |
"They´ve got the house, we'll get peace" |

Hi Tanja. |
| 00:02:22 |
I'm collecting materials for my article. |
| 00:02:27 |
Where would people like you go if |
| 00:02:32 |
I would sit all day in my house, |
| 00:02:37 |
Because here I'm also all day. |
| 00:02:41 |
That's the only place where |
| 00:02:46 |
I think many people feel the same. |
| 00:02:51 |
Without this house it will be hard to |
| 00:03:08 |
Ungdomshuset, 28. August 2006 |
| 00:03:13 |
It will look like a joke. |
| 00:03:19 |
Don't look at me. |
| 00:03:24 |
Today, the Supreme Court holded up |
| 00:03:28 |
Super! |
| 00:03:31 |
Hi. Today, the Supreme Court holded up |
| 00:03:36 |
Anyway, we are staying. |
| 00:03:43 |
but if they don't want a political solution, |
| 00:03:53 |
Today, the Supreme Court ordered |
| 00:03:59 |
They gave the owner of this building |
| 00:04:03 |
rights to use this building. |
| 00:04:07 |
It's tight. Ungdomshuset attracted |
| 00:04:16 |
Their representatives don't want confrontations, |
| 00:04:21 |
If I would like to be dramatic, I would say |
| 00:04:37 |
Does it look good? |
| 00:04:46 |
Do they look real? |
| 00:04:51 |
I look like Amalie. |
| 00:05:07 |
My openness about my homosexuality |
| 00:05:15 |
In Ungdomshuset it's different. |
| 00:05:18 |
I quickly found out, |
| 00:05:24 |
where I can be myself. |
| 00:05:31 |
Copenhagen Authorities |
| 00:05:37 |
By doing that, they confirmed a need for |
| 00:05:46 |
It seems that people who rule now |
| 00:05:53 |
It's not important |
| 00:05:57 |
I'm expecting that we will find a solution. |
| 00:06:04 |
I think that's the way |
| 00:06:13 |
Ungdomshuset, 18. September 2006 |
| 00:06:16 |
Who will read the plans for |
| 00:06:21 |
It will start with a demonstration. |
| 00:06:26 |
We need a group on the sides |
| 00:06:33 |
Something about eight people... |
| 00:06:37 |
If the 80 people from Holland won't come, |
| 00:06:41 |
then we have night rests for everybody. |
| 00:06:45 |
As a Monday Summit Ungdomshuset |
| 00:06:51 |
so you will know what to do. |
| 00:06:55 |
Our official statement is, |
| 00:07:03 |
No destructions or vandalism, |
| 00:07:09 |
if cops will start it. |
| 00:07:12 |
We're in negotiations with the City Council |
| 00:07:16 |
and we agreed to participate |
| 00:07:20 |
because we know that we will get |
| 00:07:27 |
I have promised to encourage everyone |
| 00:07:31 |
It must be peaceful, we want to show how |
| 00:07:37 |
DEFENSE OF PEOPLE |
| 00:07:41 |
I will tell you something about those, |
| 00:07:46 |
All newspapers write about fights with youths... |
| 00:08:16 |
City will pay a lot for this. |
| 00:08:19 |
You are responsible for fun, |
| 00:08:24 |
We don't want any fights and there won't |
| 00:08:33 |
Come on, they want to arrest |
| 00:08:37 |
We gotta do something! |
| 00:08:39 |
Is she so dangerous for you? |
| 00:08:41 |
How much extra payment you get |
| 00:08:47 |
How much do they pay you? |
| 00:08:53 |
On the side. |
| 00:09:45 |
Our motto "We decide, when we fight" is super, |
| 00:09:50 |
but the problem is that we don't always decide. |
| 00:09:55 |
If cops will attack we don't |
| 00:10:00 |
We can only decide if we defend ourselves |
| 00:10:04 |
We can't require from the demonstrating people, |
| 00:10:13 |
All this case with revolutions romanticism... |
| 00:10:19 |
These times passed away. |
| 00:10:26 |
for rage and frustration, |
| 00:10:33 |
To be real, it's counterevolutional... |
| 00:10:37 |
because you direct all anger on police |
| 00:10:41 |
and honestly, you shouldn't be mad at them. |
| 00:10:48 |
I don't agree, because we |
| 00:10:53 |
When the movement appeared, |
| 00:10:57 |
and they've asked for one, they were ignored. |
| 00:11:01 |
They didn't get one until they |
| 00:11:04 |
They've squatted empty building |
| 00:11:09 |
It forced them to defence |
| 00:11:14 |
It´s true that nobody wants this confrontation. |
| 00:11:19 |
But we must remeber that we wouldn't |
| 00:12:13 |
From today news: |
| 00:12:16 |
Attention: We are showing unpleasant |
| 00:12:25 |
Enough of this. |
| 00:12:47 |
In the place where I come from everybody |
| 00:12:54 |
Somebody says: |
| 00:13:00 |
They've chosen to live |
| 00:13:06 |
where everybody looks the same." |
| 00:13:11 |
But I didn't choose this when I lived there. |
| 00:13:15 |
I wanted something else, |
| 00:13:20 |
But there wasn't anything like it. |
| 00:13:22 |
That life was deadly for everybody |
| 00:13:26 |
Homosexuals always moved to Copenhagen. |
| 00:13:30 |
...as everyone else who was |
| 00:13:37 |
They had places like Ungdomshuset. |
| 00:13:40 |
If Copenhagen would be just like Herning, |
| 00:13:46 |
It would be the same in Copenhagen, |
| 00:14:02 |
...arised a foundation, that wants to buy |
| 00:14:07 |
We estabilished a foundation... |
| 00:14:09 |
[Association] and we want to buy |
| 00:14:11 |
and offer some avalaible solutions, |
| 00:14:14 |
so Ungdomshuset could |
| 00:14:22 |
With the foundation behind us |
| 00:14:31 |
So it's important to hold |
| 00:14:37 |
Faderhuset is the only one |
| 00:14:45 |
If I convince them to sell the building |
| 00:14:51 |
We don't brake the law |
| 00:14:56 |
We don't need to threaten them. |
| 00:15:01 |
You can say, that you worry about |
| 00:15:09 |
We had made some smaller campaign, |
| 00:15:16 |
Thanks to us, they didn't have |
| 00:15:21 |
And we turn off their telephones. |
| 00:15:24 |
Today they announced, that they´ll |
| 00:15:30 |
It's a clear invite for us, |
| 00:15:38 |
I remind you one more time, |
| 00:15:55 |
Another one? |
| 00:15:59 |
This is where I grew up. |
| 00:16:04 |
It's the coolest dog in the world. |
| 00:16:21 |
Faderhusers congregation, 26. November 2006 |
| 00:16:25 |
It looks shitty... |
| 00:16:39 |
Police talking! Sit on the ground! |
| 00:16:45 |
Sit down! Now! |
| 00:16:51 |
Don't touch me! |
| 00:16:55 |
Get off, you idiot! |
| 00:17:09 |
Next one, who will try to run |
| 00:17:17 |
What the fuck are you angry about? |
| 00:17:45 |
You can't just fucking beat people! |
| 00:17:50 |
Sit down! |
| 00:17:55 |
Sit down! |
| 00:18:13 |
Nikolaj! Nikolaj, is everything OK with you? |
| 00:18:19 |
I think he's ok. |
| 00:18:30 |
What the fuck are you doing, |
| 00:18:34 |
You can't just fucking beat kids! |
| 00:18:38 |
Shut up, it's not your boyfriend who got hit. |
| 00:18:43 |
Do not negotiate with terrorists, |
| 00:18:49 |
We, the owners, we are inflexible |
| 00:18:52 |
[Ruth Evensen, Faderhuset leader] - |
| 00:19:00 |
Faderhuset won't sell Ungdomshuset, |
| 00:19:06 |
Threat of violence scares citizens |
| 00:19:26 |
Copenhagen is like a vulcano, |
| 00:19:33 |
Everybody waits in tension : |
| 00:19:40 |
But there is a place in the city |
| 00:19:44 |
In the City Council everyone |
| 00:19:48 |
They cover their ears with hands and |
| 00:19:56 |
With friends we realized |
| 00:20:02 |
because the other side |
| 00:20:06 |
So, like it or not, |
| 00:20:32 |
It's nice up here. |
| 00:21:05 |
Why can't the foundation |
| 00:21:11 |
Does the city want to find such a place? |
| 00:21:14 |
[Ritt Bjerregaard, Copenhagen mayor] |
| 00:21:20 |
But they aren't going to get off. |
| 00:21:24 |
I can't do anything. |
| 00:21:35 |
People are afraid, because they saw |
| 00:21:40 |
[Ungdomshuset; meeting with neighbours] |
| 00:21:42 |
This scares them. |
| 00:21:46 |
If just one cop will be cripple or dies, |
| 00:21:52 |
because he will get hit by something, |
| 00:21:58 |
The situation of Ungdomshuset is different |
| 00:22:04 |
but we are afraid |
| 00:22:10 |
We hope that people understand |
| 00:22:18 |
could be made only by a miracle. |
| 00:22:21 |
All legal possibilites are depleted. |
| 00:22:27 |
All battles are behind us, except this one. |
| 00:22:32 |
History tells us, that you will be |
| 00:22:39 |
I would like to be able to do something, |
| 00:22:48 |
I believe you, but still I must tell you |
| 00:22:54 |
that people expressed their fears. |
| 00:22:59 |
We are aware of these problems, |
| 00:23:03 |
but we find ourselves in a difficult situation. |
| 00:23:08 |
Therefore, the house appears to be |
| 00:23:15 |
Kept in this team, |
| 00:24:23 |
Kopenhagen Authorithies had plenty of occasions |
| 00:24:28 |
to find a peaceful solution, |
| 00:24:36 |
They ignored not only possibilites, but |
| 00:24:42 |
If you experience this often, |
| 00:24:47 |
you lose faith in their system. |
| 00:24:50 |
That's just not fair. |
| 00:24:56 |
You say "their" system, |
| 00:25:02 |
Not my. Not in the present form. |
| 00:25:13 |
You sound like a dissapointed man. |
| 00:25:19 |
I really am... |
| 00:25:22 |
There isn't anybody else who wants |
| 00:25:27 |
Foundation Jagtvej 69 withdrew |
| 00:25:31 |
soon as the City Council waived |
| 00:25:37 |
We are here, and politicians are there! |
| 00:25:41 |
The foundation is helplesness |
| 00:25:44 |
and as sure as a boomerang always comes back |
| 00:25:48 |
is that the case comes back |
| 00:26:03 |
City Council is discussing about Ungdomshusest. |
| 00:26:09 |
About four proposals: |
| 00:26:12 |
- City should offer buying back Ungdomshuset. |
| 00:26:18 |
- City should play mediator |
| 00:26:22 |
- City qualify building as historic building. |
| 00:26:27 |
All proposals were rejected. |
| 00:26:30 |
They don't want to touch this case, |
| 00:26:47 |
Norrebro, 16. December 2006 |
| 00:27:57 |
Before the unrest, the Foundation has |
| 00:28:03 |
which would consist of representatives |
| 00:28:05 |
Why did you reject this proposal? |
| 00:28:06 |
Because it's based on a misunderstanding, |
| 00:28:11 |
according to which the city has |
| 00:28:15 |
And this is not a political matter. |
| 00:28:20 |
But with this the city just fled from |
| 00:28:26 |
Selling a house is entirely legal. |
| 00:28:50 |
Am I looking into a lens? |
| 00:28:58 |
On this New Year's Eve, Ungdomshuset |
| 00:29:03 |
We are entering this New Year in siege. |
| 00:29:06 |
Important people said that |
| 00:29:13 |
The first, which organises concerts, |
| 00:29:16 |
and second, sitting in basement, |
| 00:29:20 |
which is only waiting for the opportunity |
| 00:29:36 |
There are no two different groups. |
| 00:29:39 |
It's only one group of creative youth |
| 00:29:44 |
which lives in order to establish the value |
| 00:29:49 |
Others don't need to justify. |
| 00:29:52 |
Why is there a place for opera, |
| 00:29:56 |
Why is there a place for speculators, |
| 00:30:00 |
Why is there a place for fast-foods, |
| 00:30:04 |
Why is there a place for rich, |
| 00:30:09 |
Tonight, consider - what Copenhagen do we want? |
| 00:30:15 |
Happy New Year. |
| 00:30:38 |
Copenhagen is changing into Herning. |
| 00:30:42 |
Christiania, Ungdomshuset |
| 00:30:46 |
They are replaced by shopping centres, |
| 00:30:54 |
Expensive icecream bars, cafe latte |
| 00:31:00 |
Copenhagen citizens are dictating the fashion, |
| 00:31:03 |
but under this shiny facade |
| 00:31:09 |
That's because society is |
| 00:31:14 |
You can force people to subordinate, |
| 00:31:20 |
so you will drive them out |
| 00:31:24 |
until something finally breaks. |
| 00:31:44 |
We are from Ungdmshuset. |
| 00:31:49 |
[Kindergarten, Norrebro] |
| 00:31:57 |
So we organized a phone for emergencies, |
| 00:32:00 |
that will help us in informing |
| 00:32:06 |
Well, okay, call, |
| 00:32:10 |
but you said that you are peaceful |
| 00:32:16 |
And suddenly come here and say |
| 00:32:22 |
We didn't come here to discuss what |
| 00:32:29 |
You are warning us, because |
| 00:32:34 |
This is just so that they have a plan "B". |
| 00:32:38 |
For me personally the situation |
| 00:32:45 |
All these riots and all. |
| 00:32:48 |
Others also feel the inconvenience |
| 00:32:53 |
and I'm not sure what to think about this. |
| 00:32:57 |
But you didn't come to discuss. |
| 00:33:03 |
We do not know whether we'll do a chain, |
| 00:33:08 |
I can give you my number. |
| 00:33:14 |
I'm also expecting informations |
| 00:33:18 |
But, who knows? |
| 00:33:26 |
At least 11 buildings, owned by the city |
| 00:33:32 |
But Major Ritt Bjerregaard still says, |
| 00:33:36 |
that the city does not have |
| 00:33:40 |
Ritt Bjerregaard doesn't have to search |
| 00:33:45 |
List of empty buildings owned by city is long. |
| 00:33:48 |
I can not afford everything |
| 00:33:51 |
so I do not want to spend 15 million |
| 00:33:56 |
I think that I'm showing city authorithies |
| 00:34:03 |
I like better to give this moneys for schools, |
| 00:34:11 |
It seems that the negotiations |
| 00:34:16 |
For the first time, the youth announced |
| 00:34:21 |
Bbut only under the condition |
| 00:34:35 |
Dortheavej 63, 13. January 2007 |
| 00:34:40 |
Send the address to your acquaintances: |
| 00:34:46 |
Something´s going on. |
| 00:34:53 |
They can not enter. |
| 00:34:59 |
I am in the middle. This is not funny. |
| 00:35:04 |
You can't simply require coordination |
| 00:35:08 |
We have a big banner, |
| 00:35:13 |
Come on, this many people can do this. |
| 00:35:17 |
I don't know. Should I try to find the entrance? |
| 00:35:25 |
Tell them, that they shoud just come here. |
| 00:35:30 |
Come in! |
| 00:35:33 |
There is little to no police. Come in! Enter! |
| 00:35:38 |
Welcome in your new Ungdomshuset! |
| 00:35:44 |
Fuck yeah! |
| 00:35:51 |
"Copenhagen authorithies are |
| 00:35:55 |
bound by the agreement |
| 00:36:00 |
Even then, City Hall is refusing to cooperate." |
| 00:36:06 |
We've made it! |
| 00:36:08 |
Bye, Bye! |
| 00:36:36 |
Some were already inside. |
| 00:36:41 |
Outside are hundreds of people. |
| 00:36:47 |
I think that police got to the conclusion that |
| 00:36:58 |
Are you prepared for violent clashes? |
| 00:37:02 |
That's not the point. It lies in the necessity of |
| 00:37:06 |
The case of Jagtvej 69 is in deadlock |
| 00:37:09 |
and we generally want to open new talks. |
| 00:37:14 |
Thousands of people need a place for them |
| 00:37:19 |
How will you solve this conflict? |
| 00:37:23 |
Dortheavej 69, 14. January 2007 |
| 00:37:33 |
Press conference is at 3 o'clock. We will |
| 00:37:40 |
When they ask us about violence |
| 00:37:47 |
we will say: "It's not about eviction, but about |
| 00:37:55 |
Let's concentrate on transmitting our |
| 00:38:00 |
We will keep repeating the fact that in this |
| 00:38:05 |
and lots of young people need a youth house. |
| 00:38:10 |
Let's concentrate on empty buildings, |
| 00:38:18 |
Did any politicians managed to react? |
| 00:38:25 |
- Ritt representant says: |
| 00:38:29 |
It seems that the youth |
| 00:38:39 |
Mogens Lonborg, leader of Conservatives is afraid |
| 00:38:46 |
that after we opened a second front, |
| 00:39:08 |
What message do you want to give? |
| 00:39:12 |
I want a world in which there is a place |
| 00:39:20 |
Does this sounds pathetic? |
| 00:39:24 |
My philosophy about people ... |
| 00:39:32 |
I don't... Want... |
| 00:39:38 |
Something on the lines ... |
| 00:39:45 |
My philosophy about people is based on trust |
| 00:39:50 |
instead of all this shitty rest. |
| 00:40:00 |
Mayor of culture, Martin Geertsen. |
| 00:40:06 |
This group brakes the constitution by |
| 00:40:13 |
and still wants money |
| 00:40:18 |
This type of dialogue is not acceptable. |
| 00:40:24 |
But politicians and the rest |
| 00:40:29 |
and not to fight those, |
| 00:40:33 |
People who are keeping others property |
| 00:40:36 |
and then demand money for a house |
| 00:40:39 |
rather do not qualify |
| 00:40:50 |
From the top. |
| 00:40:52 |
We all agree |
| 00:40:57 |
that we won't throw the first stone. |
| 00:41:02 |
It is beyond discussion. |
| 00:41:05 |
If the cops want to evict us, |
| 00:41:10 |
It will take 20 minutes or 5 hours, |
| 00:41:15 |
Given the situation in Norrebro. |
| 00:41:21 |
Yes? |
| 00:41:23 |
If somebody will be beating me |
| 00:41:28 |
but I won't start the fight. |
| 00:41:34 |
There is too much holes. |
| 00:41:38 |
We must do whatever we can |
| 00:41:45 |
Calm down! |
| 00:41:51 |
Let's sit. |
| 00:42:01 |
What's going on outside? |
| 00:42:07 |
Two cops are examining them, |
| 00:42:15 |
They don't wear gasmasks or helmets |
| 00:42:23 |
Media wait until something happens. |
| 00:42:29 |
I do not know what. I´ll ask them. |
| 00:42:32 |
We are waiting for slogans. |
| 00:42:37 |
What do we want? |
| 00:43:03 |
If you don't belong to the rest |
| 00:43:06 |
by peaceful meetings and funny happenigs, |
| 00:43:11 |
letters and petitions, then it doesn't |
| 00:43:16 |
politicians are going to silence you. |
| 00:43:19 |
They use force to fight with all outsiders. |
| 00:43:24 |
- Shouldn't you go into dialogue ... |
| 00:43:27 |
We were in dialogue for 7 years. |
| 00:43:33 |
we were looking for a peaceful way |
| 00:43:41 |
But politicians just didn't listen to us. |
| 00:43:49 |
[Socialist Youth Front] |
| 00:43:59 |
I've come here to tell you |
| 00:44:05 |
and how we want to handle |
| 00:44:09 |
We'd prefer for people to organize themselves. |
| 00:44:15 |
To come to agreement in small groups |
| 00:44:22 |
Are there any limits? |
| 00:44:27 |
I definitely want to get involved |
| 00:44:31 |
and I want to meet with a group of friends. |
| 00:44:38 |
The problem is ... |
| 00:44:43 |
That if somebody will die ... |
| 00:44:50 |
Of course, this is a battle |
| 00:44:55 |
but it's really hard for me |
| 00:45:01 |
I know that people are willing to die |
| 00:45:08 |
It's just a problem for me. |
| 00:45:13 |
Everyone has a right to decide for himself |
| 00:45:17 |
about participating in illegal |
| 00:45:23 |
Any help is important to us, |
| 00:45:30 |
We don't want that something bad happens |
| 00:45:38 |
But they will come for us in battledresses |
| 00:45:46 |
They're serious. |
| 00:45:51 |
We are inviting everybody |
| 00:45:57 |
but this won't be like a walk in a park. |
| 00:46:03 |
It will be dangerous, |
| 00:46:10 |
Ungdomshuset. February 2007 |
| 00:46:16 |
This cuts off a cellar. |
| 00:46:19 |
Do you have any strategy of cutting each |
| 00:46:25 |
Did you position your people |
| 00:46:29 |
Police want to catch us by suprise. |
| 00:46:33 |
The most obvious way for them |
| 00:46:41 |
But they know that we know this, |
| 00:46:47 |
so our barricades must |
| 00:46:55 |
Rice... |
| 00:46:58 |
Other scenario, rather unlikely probable |
| 00:47:02 |
assumes, that they will be besieging us |
| 00:47:14 |
Two activists were arrested in |
| 00:47:19 |
How does it affect your mood? |
| 00:47:22 |
The situation is tense |
| 00:47:29 |
The authorities want to eliminate key characters |
| 00:47:34 |
SMSs informing about the coming eviction |
| 00:47:38 |
and rumors of a large |
| 00:47:42 |
all this shows how tension is growing |
| 00:47:55 |
When we came in, we met those old squatters |
| 00:47:59 |
which were afraid that |
| 00:48:04 |
But we've said to them, that we are cool. |
| 00:48:08 |
Now, after four months, I begin |
| 00:48:19 |
Where the hell are we? |
| 00:48:23 |
All the time I wonder what my former |
| 00:48:29 |
We, barricaded in the big house |
| 00:48:34 |
are preparing for a war with police. |
| 00:48:40 |
Nah, we aren't soldiers. |
| 00:48:45 |
We would like to be ninjas, |
| 00:48:53 |
Many of us had trouble with the police, |
| 00:49:03 |
Sometimes you comfort a friend |
| 00:49:07 |
who was dreaming, that he had |
| 00:49:12 |
Several times I wanted |
| 00:49:17 |
- Exactly. |
| 00:49:19 |
I tried to sleep somewhere else, |
| 00:49:27 |
because what if today will repeat itself? |
| 00:50:00 |
I do not want to go out into the streets |
| 00:50:06 |
knowing that they can shoot |
| 00:50:14 |
Or knowing that I can change |
| 00:50:20 |
But I also don't want us |
| 00:50:27 |
That's just not fair. |
| 00:50:33 |
If we won't have a home, |
| 00:50:40 |
My life will loose something |
| 00:50:55 |
Norrebro, 1. March 2007 |
| 00:52:59 |
Come on! |
| 00:53:25 |
Tear Gas! |
| 00:53:28 |
Fall back! Fall back! Get him on the ground! |
| 00:54:16 |
Teachers and parents always |
| 00:54:21 |
to behave and support democracy. |
| 00:54:27 |
Many of us were teached |
| 00:54:34 |
But if authorities do not play by the rules, |
| 00:54:39 |
then what can we do? |
| 00:54:44 |
It's like playing Monopoly with |
| 00:54:50 |
In one moment you will get mad, dump |
| 00:54:55 |
People from Town Hall don't want |
| 00:55:00 |
From the very beginning |
| 00:55:05 |
When you ask me, |
| 00:55:11 |
I want to destroy them, |
| 00:56:37 |
After eviction more and more people |
| 00:56:45 |
[Superintendent] Who can solve this conflict? |
| 00:56:53 |
It's the city authorithies problem. |
| 00:56:58 |
The recent months were full of riots and |
| 00:57:04 |
that has to reduce spending on the fight |
| 00:57:10 |
In fact, it pressures |
| 00:57:18 |
First of all, we must find an appropriate place |
| 00:57:21 |
but what's most important, |
| 00:57:27 |
Voting about estabilishing |
| 00:57:38 |
Proposal accepted in 35 |
| 00:57:42 |
1. June 2008 year. |
