Leave Us Alone (Danish: La' os være) is a 1975 Danish drama film directed by Ernst Johansen and Lasse Nielsen. It was entered into the 25th Berlin International Film Festival.[1] The plot is similar to that of Lord of the Flies: A group of teenagers are stranded on an uninhabited island, and an initially pleasant vacation turns into a nightmare.
In the spring of 2018, the media reported that many child actors, both male and female, involved in the film were subjected to sexual abuse during filming. According to the allegations, the abuse was allegedly committed by directors Lasse Nielsen and Ernst Johansen.[2]
