Facing War

The future of countries at war is often decided not by soldiers on the front line but by men in glass buildings. Until October 2024, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was one of them, as he tried from the start to arrange negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Director Tommy Gulliksen had a unique opportunity to record it all.

But it’s not only between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky that tensions escalated during this time, but also between NATO member states. If the alliance is to stay together, it will require exceptional diplomatic skills. Stoltenberg’s last year in office will be particularly busy.
