Fogh bag facaden (2003)

Directed by Christoffer Guldbrandsen

Overview

During the EU enlargement negotiations, Danish journalist Christoffer Guldbrandsen accompanied his country’s prime minister, Fogh Rasmussen, during the three-month negotiations. What looked like a conventional documentary turned out to be a tangible political scandal: Rasmussen wore an invisible microphone at many meetings and thus “recorded the true opinion of his counterparts behind the scenes”. The close-up film ensures “more openness about the background of politics”, since not only the official announcements were documented, but also not so statesmanlike statements about problems and people.”
