Gang War: Pusher Street

The aftermath of a deadly 2023 shooting on Pusher Street triggers memories of '80s Christiania, when gang wars threatened the community's livelihood.

After a period of calm on Pusher Street makes space for new culture and activism, the launch of a new police squad sparks months of violent clashes.

In the late '90s, Pusher Street experiences a peaceful boon -- until a newly elected prime minister sets his sights on Christiania.

The emergence of street gangs brings about new violence. Then, a 30-year-old's death rocks Pusher Street -- and sees the end of Bjarne's reign.

When a wave of dealers is arrested, their inexperienced replacements anonymize the market. Then, a manhunt begins after two officers are shot.

After three killings in three years, the locals launch a successful movement to permanently close Pusher Street.
