Power Play(2023)

Based on truth, lies and bad memory.

Power Play chronicles the remarkable rise of Gro Harlem Brundtland, a young doctor in late-1970s Norway who champions abortion rights and unexpectedly enters politics. As the government fractures, Gro navigates treacherous power dynamics within the Labour Party, outmaneuvering rivals and climbing the political ranks. Her determination and political acumen propel her through a crumbling social democratic establishment until she emerges as the sole survivor of internal party chaos. In 1981, Brundtland becomes Norway's first female Prime Minister, a historic achievement born from her refusal to accept the limitations placed on women in her era. The series captures her transformation from idealistic physician to shrewd political operator, exploring how ambition, intelligence, and circumstance converged to reshape Scandinavian politics.
