On July 22, 2011, Anders Breivik bombed the city center of Oslo and went on a shooting spree on the Norwegian island of Utøya, taking the lives of seventy-seven people within the span of a few hours. Director John Appel delicately captures the accounts of five victims of that day’s events. Through their individual testaments, Appel teases out the circumstances that led each survivor to be where he or she was that day. As a result, this poignant document is far more than a chronicle of events. A young man thought hard about not attending the camp on Utøya, and a business man nearly didn’t go to his Oslo office. A young woman pleaded for her friend to join her on the island, even though her friend’s parents had a bad feeling all along. Tenderly tracing ideas about chance occurrences in our lives and the significant role “almost” can play in events, this film is an inspirational, interconnected, and intensely human tribute to lives lost, and those saved, by mere seconds and the seemingly smallest of choices.  ST
