Being Ola – An Interview with Ola Henningsen & Ragnhild Nøst Bergem

In this episode, we sit down with award-winning Norwegian filmmaker Ragnhild Nøst Bergem and the charming subject of her latest documentary, Ola Henningsen. Their film, Being Ola, is a heartwarming and honest portrait of a 30-year-old man living with a mild learning disability in a village community founded on empathy and harmony with nature. We discuss the film's journey from conception to its highly anticipated UK and Irish cinema release on April 3rd, 2026. Ragnhild shares her intimate approach to storytelling, while Ola talks about the universal importance of inclusion, independence, and the simple joys of life he now enjoys.
