Brought to you by the Consulate General of Denmark in Houston. With a pre-recorded film introduction by the Ambassador of Denmark in Washington, D.C., H.E. Lone Dencker Wisborg.
Our second film this weekend is a bio pic of Henrik Kauffmann, the Danish ambassador to the US, who acted independently of the Nazi Occupation Government. Ulrich Thomson (Banshee, Counterpart) stars as Kauffmann, a man attempting to resist the occupation through diplomacy. “There is an abundance of great things going on in the film: the acting is excellent, the main story is compelling, and the looming tension of WWII is a constant. Rosendahl does an exceptional job contrasting the high-life of a diplomat with the sounds of Nazi occupation. It does an even better job displaying how diplomacy can save countless lives” – Josiah Teal, Film Threat.
