A Norwegian Tamil

In 1990, Parabaran Rajalingam (40) fled the civil war in Sri Lanka with a fake passport. The uncle, who had sent him the passport, ended up in prison, but secured him a safer life in Norway. 25 years later, Rajalingam dreams of sacrificing just as much for his disabled son.

The video was broadcast on Norway's largest TV channel (NRK1) on Christmas Eve, as a feature in the popular show Norge rundt.
