Summary
After the Norwegian Ministry of Culture's Human Rights Award was bestowed upon Thomas Østbye's previous film IMAGINING EMANUEL, Emanuel uses the money to buy fake identity papers and smuggle himself out of Norway and back to Liberia in order to start a new life.. With a single handheld camcorder, Emanuel films his escape into Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Nigeria, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast and his eventual return to his home village in Grand Bassa, Liberia, where he hopes to finally build a family and a life. Throughout his journey, Emanuel offers his unique perspective on modern life. OUT OF NORWAY is a one-of-a-kind road movie about the great lengths a refugee must go to find his home.. Official Selection at Hot Docs Film Festival.. Østbye gives Emanuel control of his own story, and thereby his own destiny, in a one-of-a-kind video-selfie road movie. ? Museum of Modern Art
