Battle for the City
Taistelu Turusta
Turku is the oldest city in Finland. Many distinguished old buildings were destroyed in the name of modernity, with businessmen, politicians and architects all involved. The film looks at the past but also at present-day activists and squatters. What motivates squatters? To whom does built space belong and who makes the decisions? The questions raised in film are relevant not only in Turku, but also elsewhere in Europe.
