FACING WAR
Directed by Tommy Gulliksen
Produced by Anne Marte Blindheim, Danielle Turkov Wilson
As Putin’s war in the Ukraine rages on, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg promises president Zelensky that the Alliance will stand by his country as long as it takes. But when the Ukraine needs it the most, the NATO unity starts to unravel, and Stoltenberg only has a few months to come up with a plan.
