STATE OF HAPPINESS

SEASON 2

The second season of State of Happiness stretches from 1977 to 1980. The era of great disasters. Well 14 at Ekofisk Bravo is blowing out and a massive oil sheet creeps over the ocean, heading for the Klondike fishing bank. Environment politics is put on the agenda for the first time. Safety is to follow, when in 1980 the hotel platform Aleksander Kielland capsizes and 123 people die, trapped inside. This is also the time when people start to make money, some more than they can handle.
