More and more Eastern European workers are coming to our rich country. Are they the slaves of our time?

Løpegutter
Janne Amble and Kadafi Zaman try to find out what causes boys as young as 15 to become criminal runaways on Oslo's eastern edge. We meet both former gang members, experienced police officers, and boys who have to live with the consequences of the choices they have made every day.
I Guds navn
How much do we really know about the congregations society supports with millions each year? What is it like to be a member of two of the largest Christian congregations in Norway? We hear stories about, among other things, social control, money pressure and how difficult it is to break out.
Barna som forsvant
In Norway, there are people who were torn away from their biological parents when they were children because they belonged to the Tater and Romani people. Over several decades, over 1,500 children were forcibly placed in orphanages and foster homes. How are the children who disappeared today?
Det vanskelige valget
4 out of 10 Norwegian women have an abortion during their lifetime. So why is a topic that concerns so many yet so difficult to be open about? In this episode, Janne and Kadafi investigate what it means to have an abortion in Norway. On the way, they meet abortion opponents and campaigners, and we get to know one of the many women who have an abortion in Norway every year.
Spiontrusselen
According to PST, the biggest threat to Norwegian citizens is no longer terrorism, but foreign intelligence. Should we be worried? In this episode, Kadafi and Janne investigate how foreign intelligence operates on Norwegian soil and we get to know some of the people who work every day to stop them.
De glemte guttene
Unemployment, suicide, drug addiction and crime. Men dominate the misery statistics in Norway, and some believe that it is only a matter of time before we have a serious school shooting in Norway. In this episode, Janne and Kadafi meet some of the boys who have fallen outside our society. We get to hear what the isolation has done to them, and what it takes to get back.
Kampen for livet
When should society's financial considerations outweigh medical benefits for the individual? Kadafi and Janne explore a healthcare system that works well for most people, but not for those unlucky enough to have a fatal diagnosis for which the authorities do not offer treatment.
De vi ikke ønsker
Every year several thousand people try to get a new life in Norway, but the dream of becoming part of Norwegian society often comes to a tragic end. What are the human consequences of a strict and fair immigration policy? In this episode, Janne and Kadafi meet some of those who stand in the middle of this system, and who in various ways fight for the right to a dignified life in Norway.
Recently Updated Shows
Abbott Elementary
In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
The Graham Norton Show
Chat show featuring celebrities, music and fabulous weirdness from the British public.
The Masked Singer
Part guessing game and part singing show, The Masked Singer sees 12 famous faces compete to pull off the best performance, with their identity elaborately and imaginatively concealed, thanks to an expert team of talented costume designers. The stars will be transformed and they will take on a masked identity and become a fantastic character which will disguise them for the whole series.
Forget any thoughts of fancy dress – they'll be full-on, original, movie-standard creations taking inspiration from worlds as varied as manga, superheroes, and wild animals and mythical creatures. Their transformations will be total, even their speaking voices will be disguised in interviews.
It will be up to a superstar panel to lead the viewers at home in their quest to discover who they are. Although the stars aren't judged on their voices, they'll still need to give their best performance – the audience's least favourite will be eliminated, before the panel try to guess their identity and unmask them.
The Repair Shop
The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.
Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.
Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.
The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
