Dokument: Blixten

Release Date: 2017-08-30

Overview: An inspiring tale about a pacifist teenager who killed a man who insulted his buddy and now has to flee an oppressive society that doesn´t understand his side. Erik Bergqvist is a young documentary filmmaker who is eager to tell the truth and create a martyr and a symbol out of his subject. The film is a satirical look at the documentary genre and how a narrative perspective and subjects can be used and misinterpreted for a larger goal. It´s a callback to the old swedish docudramas Stockholmsnatt and They Call Us Misfits about troubled teenage men in Stockholm.
