His political engagement started when he was a child and wrote a letter to Gro Harlem Brundtland about emissions from Langøya near Sande, where he lived.

Tore Remi managed to save his life by hiding in a toilet in the Café building along with five other people. He wants to share his story in order to emphasie the human aspect of terror and reach out to new generations:
If we don’t tell, the next generation won’t understand that this can happen. And when it does happen, they may stand without tools to handle it — says Tore Remi.
In these films he tells his story about what happened, about the time afterwards, and what he hopes we can learn from 22 July.
