It comes highly recommended:
On Sunday I watch the documentary SURPLUS on DR2.
With great originality and insight it portrays the face and consequences of modern day consumerism, and focuses for a larger part at the struggle against it, represented for exmaple by John Zerzan and Kalle Lasn of Adbusters. I especially found the soundediting of the production cutting edge, and with good reason. David Soederberg of LUCKY PEOPLE CENTER (link) had done the sound design. The production as such came out as a very new breed of tv-montage slash/documentary.

One scene stood out: Steve Ballmer of Microsoft, opening a Maicrosoft employee rally, him, taking to the stage as Mussolini on PCP, sweating and screaming like a mad man, then opening his speech with four words: I, Love, This, Company.

however, the saddest and most elitist shitnews I read at Politkens website just five minutes ago: Ruth Evensen buttkissing for special treatment at Nørrebro. Just days after literally every dansih poltician stated there is no political solution to the Ungdomshuset issue, this one rolls out:

If that isnt a politcal solution I dont know what is, and if that isnt the most uncharming surface of danish politcal culture and mangement since joining the Iraq war I dont know what is.

Disobey.
