22 July, Utøya

[Siun]

Im watching this on netflix now and it is good but Im getting upset all over again.

It was brilliantly done, as you'd expect from Greengrass. The two central performances were stunning.

Excellent programme but very upsetting.

My 13 yo was just shown this in a school lesson 😳 she was really distressed by it and crying all through it - I’m shocked and upset that they showed 13 year olds this, without prior warning too and no discussion afterwards (they went straight to breaktime). I haven’t seen it myself but wonder perhaps I should?

Well, It was a true story and a true story with a lot of teenagers in it. There was a very moving bit at the end when one of the characters who survived but was injured faced anders breivik in court, I sobbed. There's no getting away from it, it's a horrifyingly sad thing that happened.
