Welcome to CPH:DOX @ Danish Red Cross
Documentaries on hope and action hosted by the Danish Red Cross
Reality surpasses fiction. Just think about the pandemic five years ago. The Taliban’s takeover in Afghanistan. Or the sudden regime-change in Syria. All the many wars currently ongoing. Forgotten or new conflicts flaring up: Yemen, Sudan, Ukraine, Gaza. The severe natural disasters that destroy communities in seconds, forcing millions of people to abandon their homes and flee.
Fortunately, we also see popular resistance against unjust dictatorships, the mobilization of people supporting each other and refusing to accept the status quo. We see humanity. Action. Hope. Light in the darkness.
Yes, reality moves fast. CPH:DOX helps us pause and reflect.
The Danish Red Cross once again invites you to our beautiful Volunteer House at Blegdamsvej 27 in Copenhagen for films that take you into the wild world where the Red Cross works to help vulnerable people. In Denmark and in the world’s hotspots. At all films, there will be talks with relevant experts’, practitioners, film makers etc., and the audience is of course invited to join the conversations.
