Discovery Commissions Doc on Norway Massacre

SILVER SPRING: ITN Productions is working on a fast-turnaround news documentary for Discovery Networks International about the tragic shootings that took place on July 22 in Norway.

Norway Massacre: The Killer’s Mind will air on Discovery Channel in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Asia Pacific this August. The hour-long doc will look at the mind and motives of the Norwegian mass-killer Anders Behring Breivik. The special will also explore the rise of the far right in Norway and Europe.

“Discovery has an office in Oslo and understands the extreme gravity of this situation and how it has affected all Norwegians,” said Luis Silberwasser, the executive VP and chief content officer at DNI. “The whole world is still in shock by the appalling tragedy that took place last week. This documentary special will explore the motivations that led to such a tragic loss of life and present the facts around the activities that left a nation in mourning.”
