In a Better World

Winner of Best Foreign Language Film at the 2011 Academy Awards and Golden Globes, Susanne Bier addresses issues of the past decade that few others directors have had courage to do. The story traces elements from an impoverished refugee camp in Sudan to everyday life in a Danish provincial town. The lives of two Danish families cross each other, and an extraordinary but risky friendship comes into bud. But loneliness, frailty and sorrow lie in wait. Soon, friendship transforms into a dangerous alliance and a breathtaking pursuit in which life is at stake.

In A Better World, the First World's relationship with the Third, while offering a devastating critique of masculinity.
