Paul Greengrass' '22 July' Shows 'How Norway Fought for Democracy'

Paul Greengrass’ latest film “22 July” tells the story of a mass shooting in 2011 in Oslo, Norway, but he feels that the tragedy speaks both globally and to life in 2018.

“I wanted to make a film about how Norway responded to a right-wing terrorist attack, how Norway fought for democracy, because I think that’s first of all an inspiring story, it’s a story of our times,” Greengrass told TheWrap’s Steve Pond at TIFF. “This unprecedented shift to the far right is occurring today. It’s right in front of our eyes. It’s a problem across Europe and across North America.”
