Crossing Continents: How a War Has Changed a Norwegian Town

Series 1, episode 9

John Murphy travels to Norway's Arctic to investigate how the once friendly relations between Norway and Russia have frozen in the far north in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine. He visits the Norwegian town of Kirkenes, a place that once thrived on its close ties with neighbouring Russia, but is now home to Ukrainian refugees and a safe haven for some Russian journalists escaping President Putin's media clampdown. John reflects on how the war has changed life in this town, and asks what is next for this unique community
