The Winds of Change

Everything you need to know about Norwegian drug policy - and why it should be reformed

Original title: Vinden snur

Norway has long had some of the strictest drug laws in Europe – with an emphasis on punishing, rather than helping, addicts. In recent years, the little country has also been on top of the European death by overdose statistics. In this humane and insightful documentary we follow three drug-user activists who are fighting to change the way we think about how we treat men and women with an addiction.
