For over a year, the Dannenroder Forest in Germany was occupied by climate activists who lived in tree houses up to 30 meters high to protect it from being cleared for a new autobahn. In October 2020, police intervention and tree felling began. The documentary film Barrikade - Bilder eines Waldbesetzes accompanies the activists through their actions, their dreams and their music and is with them when the last tree houses finally fell in the first week of December 2020.
