22 July

A powerful, gripping, gut-wrenching, ire-inducing, factually based, well-acted, violent, 143-minute political thriller based on Åsne Seierstad's book One of Us that chronicles the aftermath of the senseless bombing in Oslo near the headquarters of Norwegian Prime Minister Jen Stoltenberg (Ola G. Furuseth) and the horrific murder of 77 people who "were children of the elite" and injuring more than 200 on July 22, 2011, at a summer youth camp by neo-Nazi terrorist Anders Behring Breivik (Anders Danielsen Lie) who wanted to get Islam out of Europe, and then it follows the struggle of PTSD-afflicted teenager Viljar (Jonas Strand Gravli) as he desperately tries to recover emotionally and physically from the attack and the subsequent court trial in which lawyer Geir Lippestad (Jon Øigarden), who has five children and was requested by the killer, defends him.
