Power Play

This prize winning series, Power Play (in Norwgian: Makta) tell the story about how Norway's first prime female minister Gro Harlem Brundtland came to power in the Norwegian Labour party. Starting in 1974 when she came from noting to be be first minister of environmental issues.

The series tell with hour and wit what happened according to several biographies, the fight for power within the party and the country.

Even if this is going from the mid seventies, the environment is kept in modern Oslo which works fine, sine this is told with humour.

Some of the politicians are spot on played by actors, others are totally unrecognizable. Some will obviously react to this negatively, but I don't find it disturbing for the history telling.

The series won "best seris" at the Cannes Series Festival 2023.
