Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN Groningen GroningenTake an unprecedented look behind the scenes of power! This documentary offers a unique insight into NATO leadership during the Russia-Ukraine war.
As the unity in the West is strained, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg extends his term by one more year. He promises to support President Zelensky ‘’for as long as necessary''. However because NATO decisions can only be made unanimously, his promise is under threat due to growing divisions among the allies.
The film closely follows Stoltenberg as he navigates high-stakes diplomacy and balacing the demands of world leaders like Biden, Macron, Zelensky, Erdoğan and Orbán. As the Western support for Ukraine crumbles, he must rally NATO members and prevent the alliance from disintegrating under political pressure.
A highly relevant film, which presents an urgent exploration of diplomacy, democracy, and global security in a moment of profound uncertainty. Can Stoltenberg keep his word to Zelensky?
