"The State of Denmark": Journeyman Pictures looks at the alt-right anti-immigration sentiment in one of Europe's most progressive countries
“The State of Denmark: Understanding Denmark’s Growing Anti-Immigration
Stance”, reported by Hamish MacDonald, from Journeyman Pictures, posted
recently (28 min).
Hamish tours the country riding with a Turkish Muslim
performer Ellie Jokar, and gradually uncovers the growing alt-right and anti-immigration
sentiment in the country which has grown since 2014.
But some of it started back in 2005 with the Jyllands-Posten Cartoon Controversy.
MacDonald interviews one woman who regrets the law not
allowing her to wear a burqa in public.
He also interviews a Turkish woman who owns a wedding
planning business for Muslims. She has
been in the country for forty years and fears being asked to leave.
MacDonald views a religious shrine called Bluestone from
965AD as a Christian symbol.
He also interviews a couple of rather tribal, right-wing
politicians including Rasmus Paludan, who remains unapologetic about ethnic pride
and separatism.
O, Hamish, one thing, please lose the shorts.

I spent one evening in Copenhagen in July 1972 on vacation
and got a bit soused on one Heineken in the amusement park.
