The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A Danish docudrama series about Denmark's role in the Atlantic slave trade and plantation slavery in the Danish West Indies in the late 1700s. It combines present-day interviews and site visits with dramatized scenes of the Schimmelmann family who owned plantations and slaves, and of Regina and her son Hans Jonatan, who were enslaved by that family.

What happens

Slave af Danmark er en dansk dramadokumentar, der sendes i fire dele i marts 2025 på DR1 og DRTV. Den omhandler Danmarks tid som kolonimagt, den danske slavehandel og slaveriet i plantagerne på de dansk-vestindiske øer sidst i 1700-tallet. Serien følger i kølvandet på tidligere DR-serier, der har belyst andre dele af Danmarks historie, og har både et dokumentarisk og et dramatiseret spor. I dokumentarsporet optræder Nola Grace Gaardmand som undersøgende vært, der blandt andet besøger Sankt Croix og Ghana for at interviewe om slaveriet. I dramasporet følger man dels forskellige personer fra Danmarks største plantage- og slaveejer, familien Schimmelmann, og dels en af familiens slaver, Regina, og hendes søn Hans Jonatan.
