Today I was happy to learn that the documentary
+Citizenfour by
+Laura Poitras
+finally will show up in Norway. According to the magazine
+Montages, a deal has finally been
+made for
+Cinema
+distribution in Norway and the movie will have its premiere soon.
+This is great news. As part of my involvement with
+the Norwegian Unix User Group, me and
+a friend have
+tried
+to get the movie to Norway ourselves, but obviously
+we
+were too late and Tor Fosse beat us to it. I am happy he did, as
+the movie will make its way to the public and we do not have to make
+it happen ourselves.
+The trailer
+can be seen on youtube, if you are curious what kind of film this
+is.

The whistle blower Edward Snowden really deserve political asylum
+here in Norway, but I am afraid he would not be safe.
