Giften i sandet(2025)

Giften i sandet is a Danish documentary series that traces an environmental crisis spanning generations. In the 1950s, fish began dying near the Cheminova chemical factory in Thyborøn, prompting fisherman Aage Hansen to sound the alarm—a warning largely ignored at the time. Over 70 years later, Aage's son Bjarne continues his father's fight, confronting the same industrial negligence and fearing an impending environmental catastrophe. The series examines how corporate interests silenced early warnings and how one family's persistence keeps a dangerous legacy in the spotlight. It's a sobering account of pollution, institutional failure, and the long shadow of industrial contamination on a Danish coastal community.
