As Russia’s war in Ukraine rages on, U.S. President Joe Biden persuades Jens Stoltenberg to extend his tenure as NATO Secretary General for one final year, vowing that the Alliance will stand by Ukraine "for as long as it takes." But as Western support wanes and divisions among allies grow, his promise hangs in the balance.

Tommy Gulliksen (1980) is a Norwegian film director who studied art and journalism at Oslo University College. He is known for his award-winning documentary En liten Øy I verden (2011), the series Da vi styrte landet (2017), the award-winning documentary Liberation Day (2016) and War of Art (2019). He recently co-founded the Norwegian production company Dox Division.

Film will be screened in original version with subtitles in Catalan and English. A film in the 2025 edition of DOCS Barcelona.
