Stalin would be proud: NRK TV may de-publish Team Ingebrigtsen TV series because it's "stressful" for some family members

I subscribed to a 2nd Norwegian newpspaer today VL and was catching up on the Ingebrigtsen news.

There are a series of articles debating whether Team Ingebrigtsen - the documentary ont he family - should be removed as it might be stressful to the family.

The whole thing was kicked off when critic Emil André Erstad wrote a piece saying the whole series should be taken down.

He says that a family member emailed the production team 10 months before the final shows aired and told them to pay special attention to the daughter who is the alleged victim of Gjert's physical abuse. That criticism however didn't make it to the actual broadcaster - NRK - until years after it aired.

The e-mail with the serious warning did not go directly to NRK, but to the production company Zapaca Film. The sender wrote that "you should think carefully about how you present Gjert in particular".

After that was published, Peter Wallace, who is in charge of external content for NRK, wrote a column reminding everyone correctly that it's important to realize nothing has legally been established in the case and that their is a presumption of innocence. He also said thought that if any family member told them it was super stressful, they might take it down before the Gjert's trial concluded.

Today, a lawyer for 5 of the 7 children Mette Yvonne Larsen told the press that the series is stressful to the kids and that he emailed NRK today to tell them that.

My thoughts.

When I first saw the headline that NRK may depublish the series, I must admit I couldn't believe it but decided I needed to learn the details. That's why I subscribed to the paper.

The fact that people were writing out of concern about a minor before it aired does give me a little bit of concern. THat most definitely should have been discussed with NRK. Also the fact that much of the series was about minor children who really can't consent to being part of the show due to power dynamic also complicates things a bit.

That being said, I think I'm going to stick with my original conclusion. Do not depublish it. That's the type of thing the CCCP or Stalin would do. If it's stressful to a family member, there is a simple solution. Don't watch it. As a world, we can't be simply getting rid of everything in the world that is stressful or unpleasant. We shouldn't erase unpleasant things from the past but learn from them.

Are we supposed to delete the Cosby show, not talk about slavery, etc?

I think the show should stay but should include a disclaimer before it airs.
