Synopsis

Investigative journalist Lena Kalle discovers that the story of the Norwegian "German girls" is sealed in Norwegian archives. This leads to a year-long hunt for what is hidden in the secret archives. Shocking stories from the few surviving women and witnesses reveal an unknown chapter in Norwegian post-war history. Along the way, she encounters significant resistance from the Norwegian state, but also unexpected help from inside the system. "Unforgivable" documents the brutal, state-sanctioned abuses against Norwegian women who fell in love with German soldiers during World War II, and questions who were cast as heroes and villains when the story of the Norwegian post-war settlement was written.
