Moddi – Forbidden songs (FULL DOCUMENTARY)

In 2014, Norwegian singer/songwriter Moddi embarked on a project that would change his relationship with music forever. Faced with a call to cancel a concert in Israel, Moddi stumbled upon a song that hadn’t been heard for more than 40 years. The song sparked a series of events that led to the album UNSONGS, where Moddi traveled to all corners of the world to uncover censored and forbidden songs. The TV documentary MODDI’S FORBIDDEN SONGS was produced by Fenomen Film & TV and originally published by Norwegian public broadcaster NRK in 2017. The documentary builds on footage from photographer Jørgen Nordby as well as Fenomen’s own photographers, as well as the sold-out concert with the Trondheim Soloists in the Oslo Opera House in March 2017. In 2023 the documentary was made available for the public, after a team of volunteers from all over the world collaborated to create captions in Norwegian, English, Spanish and German.
