Details

Dom över död man (2012) is a captivating drama based on the true story of Torgny Segerstedt, a renowned journalist whose fearless reporting exposed the rising threat of Fascism in 1930s Sweden. Directed by Jan Troell, the film offers a gripping portrayal of Segerstedt's courageous efforts to defend democratic values and sound the alarm bells amid a rising tide of extremism.

Set against the backdrop of pre-World War II Europe, the story follows Segerstedt as he uses his platform as chief editor of a leading Swedish newspaper to oppose Hitler's Nazi regime and criticize the Swedish government's policy of neutrality. Faced with immense pressure and threats from the authorities, Segerstedt remains steadfast in his commitment to truth and justice, even as his personal life begins to crumble. The film delicately explores the complex dynamics between his relationships with his wife, mistress, and children as his relentless pursuit of the truth takes a toll on those around him.

With impeccable attention to historical detail, Dom över död man sheds light on an often-overlooked chapter in Swedish history and pays tribute to Segerstedt's indomitable spirit. Troell's masterful direction, coupled with spellbinding performances from the cast, makes this film a must-watch for fans of gripping historical dramas and those interested in the power of journalism to challenge the status quo and shape public opinion.
