Film screening the Nobel Peace Prize Exhibition

Visitors to the Nobel Peace Center this summer are treated with a film screening included in the entrance ticket. I collaboration with MTV Documentary Films and Spin Film, the Center is screening the Oscar-nominated documentary Hunger Ward two times a day.

Hunger Ward takes the viewers to two clinics in war-torn Yemen that treat malnourished children. With millions of Yemeni children pushed to the brink of starvation due to a civil war now in its seventh year, the film is a heartbreaking look at unimaginable suffering.

Food as weapon

"We are proud to be able to partner with an acknowlegded director as Skye Fitzgerald", says curator Asle Olsen. The film is directly to the Nobel Peace Prize Exhibition this year, which is about food as a weapon of war. The exibition is showing a photo series by the acclaimed artist Aïda Muluneh, with ten photos illustrating ten countries where food is being used as a weapon. One of them is Yemen.

Nominated for Oscar

Hunger Ward is the latest film in what Skye Fitzgerald calls his humanitarian trilogy. The Oscar-nominated 40-minute film will be shown at the Nobel Peace Center at 12:00 and 15:00 every day in June and July.
