For the past 100 years, Scandinavian countries have “Funny, gripping, crazed...” The Hollywood Reporter
succeeded in creating a society built on solidarity, peace and ”A conspiracy that chills you.” Variety
tolerance — and are always topping the World Happiness
Report. But are things about to change?

In 1961, Secretary General of the UN, Dag Hammarskjöld, died in a plane crash. Hammarskjöld was both
popular and controversial, taking a stance in the fight against colonialism in times of instability and the Cold
War. What started as perhaps unlikely conspiracy theories involving conglomerates fighting for minerals
and metal resources, has evolved into a growing consensus that Hammarskjöld and 15 other people were
shot down, inciting the UN to reopen the case on the suspicion of assassination.
Notorious director/journalist Mads Brügger investigates the mysterious circumstances of the UN
Secretary-General, Dag Hammarskjöld’s death.
As the investigation closes in, we discover crimes far worse than killing the UN Secretary General.

granted? Must they tear everything down before they can start building it up again?
