LANGUAGE: German, English

For over a year the Dannenroeder forest in Germany was occupied by climate-activists. They lived in treehouses upto 30 meters high to protect the forest from clearing (for a new motorway). From Oct 2020, evacuation by the police and the cutting of trees started.
BARRICADE follows the activists through their actions, their dreams and their music and is with them, when finally the last treehouses fell in the first week of December 2020.
