    • Synopsis
    • As Russia’s war in Ukraine rages on, U.S. President Joe Biden persuades Jens Stoltenberg to extend his tenure as NATO Secretary General for one final year. During a visit to Kyiv, Stoltenberg vows that the Alliance will stand by Ukraine ‘for as long as it takes.’
      But as Western support falters and divisions among allies deepen, his promise hangs in the balance. All NATO decisions must be unanimous. Stoltenberg must navigate the conflicts and rally all the member nations behind him.
      With unprecedented access to NATO’s inner sanctum, this film takes you inside the high-stakes power struggles between global leaders like Biden, Zelensky, Erdoğan, and Orbán. The film tells a story about the art of diplomacy in a time where safety and democracy is at risk. Can Stoltenberg keep his word to Zelensky?
