Netflix has set the global premiere date for the new Swedish drama film Stolen.
Based on the critically-acclaimed, international best-selling novel Stolen by award-winning author Ann-Helén Laestadius, the Netflix film Stolen (Stöld) portrays a young woman’s struggle to defend her indigenous heritage in a world where xenophobia is on the rise, climate change is threatening reindeer herding, and young people choose suicide in the face of collective desperation.
The story also lays bare the tensions that arise when modern ideas come up against a traditional culture with deeply-rooted patriarchal structures.
A Swedish- and Saami-language production, Stolen, a Netflix Film, premieres globally on Friday, April 12, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now at www.netflix.com/stolen.)
The cast includes Elin Kristina Oskal (in her acting debut), Martin Wallström (Beck), Lars-Ánte Wasara, Ida Persson Labba, Pávva Pittja (Midnight Sun), Ingahilda Tapio, Magnus Kuhmunen, Simon Issát Marainen, Niilá Omma, and Anne Lajla Westerfjell Kalstad, amongst others.
The film is directed by Elle Márjá Eira (The Sámi Have Rights, Ealát), and written for the screen by Peter Birro (Monica Z, 438 Days). Author Ann-Helén Laestadius is an executive producer on the project.
