Backstage at NATO with Tommy Gulliksen, Director of Facing War

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.

Interview by Nojus Setkauskas, held at Movies that Matter human rights film festival in The Hague, Netherlands, this March.
