DR Drama / Netflix / SAM Productions

Black gold, white ice

After a 9-year hiatus, Danish political drama 'Borgen' returns with 'Power & Glory.' Benny Box crafted a fresh Main Title Sequence, echoing the new season's premise of Greenland's oil discovery and its impact on Danish-Greenlandic ties.

The sequence portrays fractured icebergs against dark oceans, symbolizing character conflicts and Birgitte Nyborg's power struggle. The contrast between culture and nature is achieved through ice, paper, and timelapse visuals, conveying a poignant message.

This season, a co-production of DR Drama, SAM Productions, and Netflix, revisits the beloved series with subtle nods to its original title sequence.
