Norwegian Ninja

In 1984, a high-ranking Norwegian diplomat named Arne Treholt was arrested for handing over classified state secrets to the KGB. It quickly became the most notorious scandal in Norway’s history, and destroyed Treholt’s reputation as a great patriot. In 2010, Arne Treholt returned to the headlines, this time on screen, when writer/director Thomas Cappelen Malling introduced NORWEGIAN NINJA, a psychedelic-martial arts-Euro-crime story featuring Treholt as the head of a secret force of modern “shadow warriors” entrusted by King Olav to protect Norway.
