Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

The Swedish International Brigades sent ~500 volunteers to Spain; most returned broken or not at all. Sture's silence is historically typical.

Trivia

Director Saeed Asadi, Iranian-Swedish, specifically sought this obscure chapter of Nordic leftist history — his only feature before disappearing from cinema.
