Trondheim 1978: Reitgjerdet Hospital is a place of horror for the townspeople. Here, the most dangerous mentally ill patients from all over Norway are held. One day, a serial rapist escapes — and it turns out he had help from the inside.
Join us for the launch of a gripping and true story from Trondheim in the NRK series Hele historien (The Whole Story). We'll listen to the first episode of the miniseries, followed by a panel discussion about Reitgjerdet Hospital and how the events of the 1970s influenced changes in Norwegian forensic psychiatry.
The panel features series creator and journalist Randi Lillealtern, Øyvind Thomassen — professor of history at NTNU and Reitgjerdet expert — and journalist Bjørn Johan Jacobsen, who covered the Reitgjerdet case for Adresseavisen in the 1970s.
The event is free. The venue has 103 seats, and it's first come, first served. Doors open at 17:50.
