   5 <p>Today I was happy to learn that the documentary
   6 <a href="https://citizenfourfilm.com/">Citizenfour</a> by
   7 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Poitras">Laura Poitras</a>
   8 finally will show up in Norway.  According to the magazine
   9 <a href="http://montages.no/">Montages</a>, a deal has finally been
  10 made for
  11 <a href="http://montages.no/nyheter/snowden-dokumentaren-citizenfour-far-norsk-kinodistribusjon/">Cinema
  12 distribution in Norway</a> and the movie will have its premiere soon.
  13 This is great news.  As part of my involvement with
  14 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">the Norwegian Unix User Group</a>, me and
  15 a friend have
  16 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/news/Dokumentar_om_Snowdenbekreftelsene_til_Norge_.shtml">tried
  17 to get the movie to Norway</a> ourselves, but obviously
  18 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/news/Dokumentar_om_Snowdenbekreftelsene_endelig_til_Norge_.shtml">we
  19 were too late</a> and Tor Fosse beat us to it.  I am happy he did, as
  20 the movie will make its way to the public and we do not have to make
  21 it happen ourselves.
  22 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiGwAvd5mvM">The trailer</a>
  23 can be seen on youtube, if you are curious what kind of film this
  24 is.</p>

  26 <p>The whistle blower Edward Snowden really deserve political asylum
  27 here in Norway, but I am afraid he would not be safe.</p>
