The aftermath of a deadly 2023 shooting on Pusher Street triggers memories of '80s Christiania, when gang wars threatened the community's livelihood.

In the early '90s, Pusher Street experiences a period of relative harmony, even seeing an emergence of activism and hip-hop culture. But when a new police squad cracks down on the market, local Christianites fight back by whatever means necessary.

In 1996, Christiania enjoys a peaceful moment, but in 2001 Anders Fogh Rasmussen wants to remove the hash. The fight is now about the survival of the free city.

Three killings in three years shake Christiania. A historic collaboration between residents, municipality and police closes Pusher Street for good. Police officers, residents and politicians look back on the time – was it all worth it?
