The Light

Storyline

It was Denmark's largest work of art and at the same time triggered a historic shitstorm when the artist Elle-Mie Ejdrup created a 532 km long line of laser light along the Nazi bunkers on the west coast on May 4, 1995. Former resistance fighters, top politicians and the press fought fiercely over the work. After receiving death threats and being sent out into the cold for two decades, the team behind the work is now telling the story.
