Supper and Movie Night!
On Tuesday, March 24th, the Kringen Lodge is hosting a supper (served from 5:00 – 6:30 pm) and view the poignant documentary, The Teacher’s Protest (80 mins). Discussion time to follow!
Brief synopsis:
1942. Occupied Norway. Teachers must join the Nazi Teachers’ League and teach Nazi ideas in their classrooms. 8,000 of them write protest letters. They are threatened with salary withdrawal and the sack.
Still, they refuse. In a desperate attempt to break them, the Nazi government arrests 1000 male teachers and sends them to prison camps, 300 miles above the Arctic Circle. The education system is in chaos, and now the battle begins.
Jon Seal’s documentary weaves together archive footage, first-hand testimony, and the skillful animation of Herlov Amland’s poignant drawings to tell this gripping story to an international audience for the first time. The Teacher’s Protest is a sad, tender, and uplifting documentary exploring a completely different kind of war story – an inspiring tale of passive resistance, where the heroes fight without weapons and still win.
