The Lives of My Father

Spies, lies and a box of video tapes.

Didrik thought his Norwegian father was a journalist. In reality, he was a CIA spy who fired AK-47s in the Kuwaiti desert and infiltrated cocaine laboratories in Colombia. When Didrik finds a box of old tapes and documents in his father’s attic, he uncovers a story almost too strange to be true. For the first time his father, Bjørn, begins to speak openly about his past. As Didrik digs deeper, the life and lies of a man who blurred the lines between journalism, propaganda, and international espionage begins to emerge. But can any of it be trusted?
