(5 Dislikes, I will post the dislike ratio under all my videos, because YouTube removed the dislike display and I believe my viewers deserves to know, we need to democratize YouTube and stop these silly changes put in place to protect the legitimacy of unpopular organizations, I will update this when/if I find time )

I do not claim ownership of this documentary nor the film series or anything else it portrays. All rights for the "Olsenbanden" franchise belongs to Nordisk Film under Egmont Group.

A short documentary about the Olsen Gang
Now with English and Japanese subtitles!

オルセンギャングに関する短いドキュメンタリー
今、日本語字幕付き!

I share this documentary out of the non-profit motif that I seek to explain to foreigners what this whole thing with "Olsenbanden" here In Denmark is all about, and to educate people about this part of Contemporary Danish culture and identity.
This documentary fits my mentioned motif perfectly as I am of the belief that it was created with that exact purpose.
Thus by sharing it I am only aiding the promotion of the "Olsenbanden" movie franchise.

I find it hard to explain to my friends in the US and Japan what Olsenbanden is about and why it holds this importance to us, without a visual explanation. This short documentary scratches the surface of the phenomena as it shows both the visuals and explains the humor, workings and psychology behind the Olsen gang.

The Olsen Gang movies are a beloved and essential part of Danish national identity rivaling the Lego bricks and H.C. Andersen tales. Like James Bond is to the British and Lupan III is to the Japanese, the Olsengang is to the Danes. The franchise spawned 14 official feature films, 1 short film, a few spin offs and 2 animated features.
Apart from the former eastern block and especially GDR where a cult following was gained, the Olsen gang films are hardly heard about outside of Denmark, yet Sweden and Norway made their own remakes of the franchise with their own actors.
