IFI DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL 2025: FACING WAR

Director: TOMMY GULLIKSEN

100 mins, Norway-Iceland-Denmark-Finland-Sweden-Belgium, 2025, Digital

IRISH PREMIERE

Jens Stoltenberg’s last year as Secretary General of NATO, filmed with unprecedented access to one of the most important political leaders of our time. As Russia’s war in Ukraine rages on, President Joe Biden persuades Stoltenberg, who has vowed to stand by Ukraine, to extend his tenure. But as Western support falters and divisions among allies deepen, his promise hangs in the balance. All NATO decisions must be unanimous and Stoltenberg is tasked with building consensus between global leaders such as Zelensky, Erdoğan, and Orbán, and rally all the member nations behind him in support of Ukraine.
