En pilgrims död Death of a Pilgrim
A Nordic crime mini-series about the murder of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme and the fall of the welfare state.
The series is based on the highly acclaimed Swedish writer and criminologist Leif GW Persson’s award-winning The Fall of the Welfare State trilogy. Together these novels tell a vibrant tale of conspiracy, espionage, murder, comedy and abuse of state power through a fascinating and flawed set of characters; a tale that resonates with our own time and well beyond Scandinavia.
Death of a Pilgrim is a highly entertaining and informed combination of satire, black humor, thriller, psychological drama and police procedure. It is a universal story, mirroring other international conflicts as well as questioning modern democracy.
Script by Sara Heldt and Johan Widerberg. Directed by Kristofer Nyholm, Kristian Petri. Starring Rolf Lassgård, Helena af Sandeberg, Jonas Karlsson and others.
