Greenland: Trump’s Treasure Island

Greenland – a vast frozen land that captures the imagination of adventurers and world leaders alike. This autonomous Danish territory holds major strategic value – enough for US President Donald Trump to openly express interest in bringing it under American control.

What fuels the US ambition to claim the world’s largest island? How do Greenlanders view these geopolitical moves? And why does this land, first discovered by Vikings over a thousand years ago, still attract explorers from around the world?

In this film, political analysts and seasoned adventurers, who have crossed Greenland through blizzards and deep freezes, share their perspectives on an Arctic land that has become the center of global attention.
