A political documentary that provides a unique insight into NATO leadership during Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine. As Western unity wavers, Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg extends his term by one final year and promises to support President Zelensky “as long as necessary.” But because NATO decisions must be made unanimously, his promise is tested by growing divisions among the allies.

With unprecedented access to NATO’s internal workings, the film follows Stoltenberg closely as he navigates high-stakes diplomacy, balancing the demands of world leaders such as Biden, Macron, Zelensky, Erdoğan, and Orbán. As Western support for Ukraine falters, he must keep NATO members united and prevent the alliance from fracturing under political pressure.

A highly relevant film presenting a timely exploration of diplomacy, democracy, and global security in an era of great uncertainty. Will Stoltenberg be able to keep his word to Zelensky?
