Factual

Film documentary Generation Utoya produced by Tore Buvarp, Fenris Film in coproduction with Sigve Endresen, Motlys will be available at the Hot Docs.

The film directed by Norwegian filmmakers Aslaug Holm (Brothers, which clinched Best Documentary Feature at Hot Docs five years ago) and Sigve Endresen (producer of Thelma, Louder than bombs) follows four women, all of them being survivors of the horrible attacks at Utoya in Norway from 10 years ago. The film is very much about how pervasive right-wing extremism is, not only in Norway, but to me anyway it really echoed what’s been happening in Poland in terms of women’s rights, and of course the shocking insurrection that took place in Washington on January 6 earlier this year.
