While traditional investigative journalism seeks to tell stories that criticise the structures of the society, the driving force in Our Small Country is the positive force of sole individuals. The task of the series’ experienced reporters is to practice serious journalism as usual, but this time they go about it with an opposite approach. The reporters are finding their stories travelling Norway, carrying just a few key words to guide them: love, honesty, courage, responsibility and hope. In search of these basic values, the stories of people’s lives are revealed. The reporters bring home material on ordinary people, who often bravely face extraordinary challenges in which they battle - and win. Norway has a limited population of 5 million people. But everyone has a story.
