Biography
Mads Brügger (b. 1972) is a journalist and filmmaker. In his native Denmark he has worked for daily newspapers, magazines, and radio, and has also written several books. He is host of the late night TV show “The 11th Hour” and the daily news-debate program “Deadline.” In 2004 he directed a series of half-hour satirical documentaries entitled “Danes for Bush.” In his documentary The Red Chapel (Det røde kapel, 2006), he set out for North Korea as a member of a pro-regime comedy troupe. Brügger has brought his experience as a reporter to his filmmaking activities, employing what might be called performative journalism in his documentaries. The director himself becomes the central figure of his satirical investigations, wearing various disguises in his drive to uncover criminal activity.
