Plot

Filmed with unprecedented access to unreleased archives and interviews with the musicians, friends and family closest to him, Burn The Place You Hide is the first time the extraordinary life of Thomas Hansen has been fully documented.

Thomas Hansen was one of the most uncompromising voices in Norwegian music. Haunted by the terrifying effects of mental illness, his music mirrored his life, candid, chaotic, and tinged with a sense of child- like wonder at the world around him. It was also painfully honest in documenting the fear and violence that ran throughout his life. Despite the trail of destruction left in his wake, Thomas Hansen engendered an unlikely humanity and devotion in those closest to him and it is through their memories, and intimate archive recordings, that this strange and uniquely poignant story is finally told.
