I recently had the pleasure of participating in a screening of my short documentary film on the Nord Stream pipeline project in the cinema hall of the Berlin historical museum.  Our modest event was graced with some impressive attendees: Nord Stream AG Jens Müller (who heads up their public relations), Neel Strøbæk of Rambol (the group which carried out the environment assessment report in accordance with the Espoo Convention); Tobias Münchmeyer of Greenpeace, Bundestag Deputy Rainder Steenblock and around 70 audience members. A discussion took place after the showing of the film.

I can’t help but notice a pattern of multiplicity taking place.  When we first showed the film inside the Swedish Parliament, just one Nord Stream representative showed up.  When we were invited for a screening in the Finnish Parliament, there were two waiting there for us.  And finally, when we came to Berlin, there was a foursome.  Logically, I suppose we can expect eight Nord Streamers to come to the next showing.
