      "Two men grew up from a drunken father, one was an alcoholic in his life and the other never drank. Both responded as excuses for their actions as 'I saw my father, and I did what I thought right". Bad surroundings don't always make made people if the person was born to do great things.

      “Christiania” is only around 0,13 square miles and only a few hundred people actually live there. It’s in the city center of copenhagen. But it is basicly a lawless little area with alot of police raids, because pushers openly sell weed from stands (no hard drugs at all, strict policy there). Being from copenhagen myself, i think Lukas often has a way of exaggerating the conditions of Christiania. Like in this interview where he makes it sound like this Big tough ghetto area, but in reality it’s more of a small hippy community and tourist trap
