Street of Darkness

120 min.TV documentary

For decades, the area around Istedgade in Inner Vesterbro in Copenhagen has served as the gritty setting for Denmark’s largest open drug scene. The documentary series Street of Darkness depicts the lives of three people who live on the streets with drug addiction: 46-year-old Mette, 25-year-old Danny and 34-year-old Wesley. Through observational social reportage and interviews, the series portrays their everyday life and daily struggle with drug addiction over two years of filming. The three main characters tell their own life stories, focusing on the childhood traumas and failures that made them seek life on the streets.
