Exclusive: Anonymous Content Nordic, the Norway-based division of Anonymous Content, is developing a limited series based on the high-profile trial of Laila Bertheussen, the partner of Norwegian ex-Minister of Justice Tor Mikkel Wara, and the events and circumstances that led to it.
Bertheussen today was found guilty of threatening democracy and sentenced to 20 months in prison. She had pled not guilty to all charges, which included setting her car on fire and vandalizing the family home.
The case, which transfixed Norway, goes back to the 2018 theatrical run of Ways of Seeing, a play that blamed Wara and other members of Norway’s right-wing Progress Party for furthering racism and racist attitudes across the country.
Bertheussen at the time objected to images of their house being used in the production as a potential threat to their safety.
Soon, mysterious acts of vandalism and began to take place around Bertheussen’s home.
