Two weeks in Denmark’s subject in a documentary “bigger than the trumpet”, he says, producer Michael Bévort. And randomly Greenland is the white gold (Greenland is white gold), a 55-minute film of Danish Exploited in several decades Cryolite mine in the southern Greenland The huge sums of money generated wave of February in both Greenland and its former cologne leader, Denmark. But the reaction between two have been more polarized.
In Greenland, which remains part of the Danish kingdom, while Denmark is still controlling his foreign and defense policies, were affected by anger and deep sorrow. In the region was in the middle of the election, when he saw the world thanks to the Donald Trump’s threat to control in the Arctic Island. According to the poll for Greenlandic Newspaper SermitsiaqMore than one-third of the voters of a documentary to influence the vote.
There was also a sense of long-await recognition – that stories who had heard from his friends and relatives about what happened in now delights the town Ivittuut was finally confirmed by the public institution, as Big.
Politically, the view is the seismic in the country’s capital, nuuk. It had potential, some believed to change the power of dynamic between the territory and Nordic region, which has been long been to Greenland to be financially dependent Denmark. “A new documentary film displays the Denmark has earned at least 400BN Kroner [£46bn] From just one of my “Greenland is then-first Minister, Multi B Effeder, said at a time.
While there were some positive reviews in Denmark, Danish media quickly flipped to attack after one of the finance who appeared in the documentary interpretation of the figures. “It was awesome,” Bévort to Observer. “It’s the worst shit weather, almost always.”
Criticism in the documents centered in Figure 400BN Danish Kroner, as a team account was denmark’s gross income from me over 133 years, adjusted to today’s value.
But torben m Andersen – an economics professor at Aarhus University and Chair of Greenland Economic Council that appears in the documentary – put in the figure in the turnover between 1884 and 1987, not profit. The documentary carefully to emphasize the shape – calculus input with logbooks from the Danish National Archives – refers to the overall turnover because they are advised with the interaction in Danish in Danish workers and equipment.
For 10 days, D. stood by a documentary. Despite the criticism of several politics, including Danish, Jakob Engel, Schmidt, who declined, not that there is no beginning and reservations and reservations, it is not that it is not to be made; It is not that it is not that there is no reservations, it is not that it is not that there is no errors, it is not that there is no initials and reservations is not that there is no reservations is not made.
But finally changed the minds. He was told that it would be to withdraw and “depublish” documentary and the DR news editor-in-leader, Tholmas falba, renunting. French statement that is in a new information about the graph of the sum accumulated sales Cryolite has been removed from an previously used documentary or accurate.
“It can be a minor thing compared to a great debate about the documentary, but this is a new crucial to me that you have to be able to trust the presentation of accurate,” French. Bévort, who is trying to get a new home to a documentary, said to rare move to depublish the political. “There is nothing to do with the film. You’re going to go after 9”.
Rune Lykkeberg, Editor, in-Danish Newspaper InformationFit together. “It is not political in the sense, we need to review this to appease the control. But the political corporate in the sense that we must do this to protect our brand and control loss.”
And the “Dr is to BBC, public-service station whose last executive is the government – officials culture sets his head on the Board who puts formally independent CEO of Dr. And it was with severe criticism, which is also political. “
Move Depublish was “awesome choice” Lykkeberg added. “The documentary was a public debate that was a public that people deliberates and it was in a common interest to everyone could have access. And I can help anyone you can see the film to say.” You don’t see the game. “
Nahah nathanielsen, who was a minister in the last Greenlandic government and the current government, which was a publicly sworn in the moon, said they move to “an overreaction” of Dr. “There is no more to do with a Danish interpretation of his activities in Greenland as this movie is about” and to Observer.
While I saw the numbers, so it can not comment in whether they are exactly the right, which believes that they are fair. “What do you believe is what’s not an unjust presentation of the economy between Greenland and Denmark,” he said. “I have confidence enough in numbers to say that they represent the correct interpretation of the way that were – even when I Denmark started investing more in Greenland.”
But to focus only in the figures only “derails” in the language of which a real debate, he says. “Greenland can have and narratives … so, there is something in the past with Denmark that was a barn that are not right, and violated the right. And it can also accept and acknowledge all the goods to be well.”
However, Denmark – or at least Danish media – he says that it seems not to be. “There is only one narrative, which is not, and what is the Denmark was good to Greenland and the end of the story.”
