Frequently asked questions

What is The Experiment about? Toggle content

In the remote wilderness of Greenland, a group of 16 Greenlandic children were taken from their homes and brought to Denmark for a year of cultural and linguistic education. They were then returned to Greenland and placed in a special children's home as part of an experiment to civilize and integrate them into Danish society. Under the motto "One Land - One People - One Language," the children were taught Danish values and language, but the experiment quickly spiraled out of control as the children struggled to reconcile their new identities with their traditional roots. The experiment became a powder keg of cultural clashes, personal struggles, and ultimately, tragedy. Will anyone survive The Experiment?
