What happens

Den glemte befrielse - da russerne tog Bornholm er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2016 instrueret af Jacob Andersen. Mens resten af Danmark jublede over befrielsen i maj 1945 gik Bornholm nogle dramatiske døgn i møde. Først to dages kraftige bombardementer, og så en besættelse af sovjetrussisk stormtropper. Bornholmerne kunne ikke få oplysninger om deres skæbne, da radioen ikke fortalte om situationen. Der gik næsten et år, før Bornholm endelig kunne fejre, at de fremmede tropper havde forladt øen. Hos dem der oplevede begivenhederne er der fortsat en bitterhed og en følelse af at være blevet svigtet af det øvrige Danmark. Ti Bornholmere fortæller deres egne oplevelser fra tiden 1945-46.
