In February 2023, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg pledged continued support for Ukraine “for as long as it takes.” At the time, Norwegian director Tommy Gulliksen had already been working for a month on Facing War, a political documentary about Stoltenberg’s role in preserving the unity of the alliance. Today on the NARA podcast, Tommy reflects on the fast-paced production process and NATO’s role in 2025.
Hear the audio conversation I had with Tommy Gulliksen during the human rights film festival, Movies that Matter in the Hague. The full article can be accessed here.

This publication was produced during the Perspectives project. It is a media platform for young Europeans who seek news beyond the infotainment delivered by social media. Seven newsrooms, mainly from Eastern Europe, contribute stories and commentary to tell today’s complex realities. Multiple voices and viewpoints thus create a varied, fact-checked multimedia news offer.
