Life on the NATO-Russia Border | Beyond Borders

Video Description

High above the Arctic Circle, on the Norwegian border with Russia, is a place where some say the Cold War never ended. Where a memorial to the Soviet soldiers who defeated the Nazis has a darker meaning since Russia's incursion into Ukraine. And where those trying to report what’s happening have been targeted by Moscow’s spy network, while anti-war protestors rally under the watchful eye of the Russian consulate. This is a community living with the threat of war between NATO and Russia, and the suspicion that hangs over everyone. #trtworld #documentary #beyondborders #norway #russia #russiaukrainewar #nato #ukraine ______ Beyond Borders is a location-based documentary show telling the human stories at the heart of the trends shaping our world.
