What happens

Vi bygger landet (We Build the Country) is a Norwegian film from 1936, directed by Olav Dalgard. The film is a so-called "workers' film" that was created on behalf of the Workers' Educational Association (Arbeidernes Opplysningsforbund, AOF) to motivate voters in the cities to vote for the Labor Party in the parliamentary elections in 1936. Together with Norge for folket (1936) and By og land hand i hand (1937), it is part of the so-called workers' film trilogy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
