In 2010, nine people were char­ged and prosecu­ted for attack­ing Parlia­ment in Iceland a year before. The ‘Reykja­vik 9’ were a diverse group of people, anarchist acti­vists, Christian social­ists, a happy-go-lucky, hedon­ist mailman, one former small time crook, who all went a step furt­her than most particip­ants in the the mass protests which followed Iceland’s 2008 economic melt­down. The docu­ment­ary film Ge9n is a portrait of those nine people and their political vision(s), shot in the suspense during their trial.

Ge9n premi­ered in June 2011, at the Skjald­borg docu­ment­ary film festi­val, in Patreks­fjörður, Iceland.
