Former NATO Chief to Debate Future of Western Military Alliance With Danish Prime Minister at Copenhagen Documentary Festival


The premiere of “Facing War” will be followed by a debate between Jens Stoltenberg, the former NATO secretary general, and the Danish Prime Minister.

Niklas Engstrøm, artistic director at CPH:DOX, said: “Europe is facing a security crisis that grows more severe by the day, as European leaders rush from one summit to the next in search of common ground and effective measures. I am therefore grateful that Mette Frederiksen and Jens Stoltenberg have taken the time to visit CPH:DOX to discuss the value of diplomacy in the new world order in light of the festival’s opening film ‘Facing War.’ The two top politicians, with their substantial experience on the global political stage, can give people all over Denmark a unique insight into the diplomatic work and their views on the NATO alliance and the current security situation in Europe.” “Facing War” is produced by Anne Marte Blindheim and Danielle Turkov Wilson at Dox Division in co-production with NRK, SVT and Think-Film Impact Production with support from Norsk Filminstitutt, Oslo Filmfond, Viken Filmsenter, Fritt Ord, Nordisk Film & TV Fond, Impact Partners, Bergesen-stiftelsen and Fond for lyd og bilde.
