What it's about: Sahra, 24, a nursing student who grew up at Fjell in Drammen, is eleventh on her party's list for the municipal council and faces her first public debate, about closing the youth club where she did her homework as a teenager. Her experienced opponent buries her in budget numbers until she drops her notes and speaks from experience, and afterwards both he and her mother surprise her with what they say about voting.
Sahra hadde aldri drømt om å bli politiker. Hun var tjuefire år, studerte sykepleie og jobbet helger på et sykehjem i Drammen. Men da hun leste i avisa at kommunen ville legge ned fritidsklubben på Fjell for å spare penger, ble hun så sint at hun meldte seg inn i et parti samme kveld. Tre måneder senere sto navnet hennes på valglista til kommunestyret, på plass nummer elleve.
