Additional information:

The film crew of the TV channel arrived to prepare a story about the city action Veloden. It was a public event organised by the city administration. However, the starting point for the participants was the car park of a local shopping mall. The security guards of this shopping mall prevented journalists from working in their car park, justifying it by the fact that «this is a private territory» and there is «martial law».
