Name: Anja & BS på afveje
Genre: Documentary
Rating: 7.5
Cast: Anja Steensig, B.S. Christiansen

A Professional soldier and a TV-journalist in the wilderness

BS Is a Professional Seal (DK: Jæger-soldat) who is well known through out Denmark. These program series did even more to make him a common known face. "Anja og BS på afveje" is only the first series of two. BS later went on journeys with Signe Svendsen too.

The concept is that a classic big-city girl (in this case a journalist) and a hardened professional soldier have to team up and experience nature first hand, when nature stops being pretty and starts being rough. The two take off to Antartica and other places to experience how surviving demands a lot from you when there is no warm cozy living room, no bed, and no kitchen.

The series was a huge TV-hit and many people sat down in front of the TV when this showed, and felt really good about having a kitchen, warm cozy living room and a bed.

Unfortunately Anja Stensig couldn't keep up and after a few episodes she dropped out of the series. But actually she was already a replacement of another big-city girl who dropped out, at the very moment they were going to tape the series. So she came a lot further than her predecessor. Only problem is that Signe Svendsen who followed in her footsteps was underestimated and really came through and tried a lot.

Danish cinema is renowned for its intimate focus on character and moral complexity, often framed with naturalistic performances and understated visual style. It has balanced art-house innovation, such as the Dogme 95 movement, with popular storytelling that explores family, community, and ethical dilemmas. Danish filmmakers often examine how personal choices collide with collective responsibility, giving even small-scale stories a sense of moral weight and cultural reflection.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
