The Winds of Change

Everything you need to know about Norwegian drug policy - and why it should be reformed

2020 · 72 min · Documentary

Norway has long had some of the strictest drug laws in Europe – with an emphasis on punishing, rather than helping, addicts. In recent years, the little country has also been on top of the European death by overdose statistics. In this humane and insightful documentary we follow three drug-user activists who are fighting to change the way we think about how we treat men and women with an addiction.

The starting point for the short story is a piece of music composed by K.A. Knutsen (Syntax TerrOrkester) and a concept developed by producer Simeon Frohm. Four directors have each been given a visual image of an audio file, as well as a title and length limitation as a starting point to create each chapter of the film. None of the directors have heard the sound, this has been mixed and completed based on raw versions of the film chapters. Common to the chapters is that they deal with the term "Garden" and its associated chapter title. The landscape of Utsira, where the film was filmed, lays the foundation for aesthetics.
