Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Folk high schools are uniquely Nordic — live-in institutions where students study no vocational skills, only themselves. Norway has run them since 1864.
Directors Grady and Ewing (Jesus Camp, Detropia) spent a full year filming, sleeping in -30° tents to capture authentic dailiness rather than drama.
