Denmark has finally started addressing the lack of diversity in local movies and TV series. From afar, the country is the epitome of liberalism and home to provocative filmmakers like Lars von Trier and a new wave of directors with foreign origins, such as Ali Abassi and Milad Alami .

The campaign struck such a chord that A Bigger Picture was able to enlist the support of dozens of filmmakers, producers and film bodies. It secured meetings with The Danish Film Institute, which is the main source of financing for local movies, as well as SF Studios and guilds for actors, directors, producers and screenwriters.

“In Denmark, political correctness is considered a boring thing. So you don’t dare to speak out,” says Müller. The producer says she’s seen only one Black director coming out of the Danish film school, Diêm Camille, whose show “Bad Bitch” marked Denmark’s first TV series featuring Black cast. It aired on the Danish broadcaster DR. Børglum is part of the task force launched by the Danish Producer’s Association “to find solutions.”
