Facing War

A political documentary with a unique inside look at NATO’s leadership during Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine. As Western unity wavers, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg extends his tenure for one final year, vowing to support President Zelensky “for as long as it takes.” But with NATO decisions requiring unanimity, his promise is tested by deepening divisions among allies.

With unprecedented access to NATO’s inner workings, the film follows Stoltenberg as he navigates high-stakes diplomacy, balancing the demands of world leaders like Biden, Macron, Zelensky, Erdoğan, and Orbán. As Western support for Ukraine fractures, he must rally NATO’s members and prevent the alliance from splintering under political pressure.

A highly relevant film, which presents an urgent exploration of diplomacy, democracy, and global security in a moment of profound uncertainty. Can Stoltenberg keep his word to Zelensky?
