In a Better World
Hævnen
Two families in Denmark connected through their sons — one a bullied boy who finds an unexpected protector in a new classmate, the other the bullied boy's father, a doctor working in a Sudanese refugee camp. Bier weaves the domestic and the geopolitical together with deliberate purpose — asking whether the moral logic that governs personal relationships can survive contact with systemic violence. Won the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.
