✍️ A documentary about the Danish exploitation of a cryolite mine in southern Greenland sparked a heated debate between Greenland and Denmark, with Greenland feeling a sense of long-awaited recognition and Denmark criticizing the documentary's figures.
👉 The documentary revealed that Denmark earned at least 400bn kroner from the mine over 133 years 👉 The figure was disputed by an economics professor 👉 The documentary was withdrawn and 'depublished' by DR after a graph was found to be inaccurate 👉 The move was seen as a 'terrible decision' by some, as it stifled public debate and access to the documentary
