On December 16, 2003, the world awoke to the news that the European Union had approved 10 new member countries. In his fast-walking, fast-talking docu-thriller, filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen goes behind closed doors with European heads of state during the high-powered negotiations leading up to the expansion. Unparalleled access gives a West Wing feel as the camera tracks Danish Prime Minister and EU President Fogh Rasmussen and his team as they shuttle between meetings with EU applicants and member countries. Whimsically shot, brutally honest and endlessly fascinating, The Road to Europe has generated public outrage in Europe and strained relations among EU leaders.
