During the filming of the documentary, tragedy strikes as terrorist Anders Behring Breivik kills 77 people in Oslo. One of the victims is the daughter of one of the former leaders. An act against multiculturalism which the RidduRiddu festival stands for. Is festivals such as this more important after the massacre?
