How it feels
A Danish silent drama from 1911 about nihilist revolutionaries. The film was a commercial hit for its studio but its political subject made them avoid similar themes afterward due to emerging censorship.

What happens
Dødsflugten er en dansk stum dramafilm fra 1911 produceret af Nordisk Films Kompagni og instrueret af Eduard Schnedler-Sørensen efter manuskript af Axel E. Hoeck Filmen havde dansk premiere den 7. december 1911 i Biograf-Theatret i København. Filmen var en succes for Nordisk, der solgte 138 kopier af filmen; det gennemsnitlige salg i 1911 var 60 kopier på film. På trods af successen med temaet om de revolutionære nihilister, producerede Nordisk ikke siden film om politisk sensitive temaer, muligvis grundet den på det tidspunkt fremspirende filmcensur.
