Battle for the CityJouko Aaltonen

In Turku, Finland’s oldest city, a radical choice was made. The old city was almost entirely torn down to make room for a new, modern infrastructure. Do policy makers and architects have the right to take such decisions or is the conservation of historical buildings a public right too? Is progress a bigger priority than patrimony? This film looks at the ‘Turku syndrome’ and follows a group of activists and squatters who stand up for what they believe in.
