The Emigrants (Erik Poppe)

In the mid-19th century, millions of Scandinavians left hunger and distress in hopes of a better life in America. In this epic tale, we follow Kristina, Karl Oskar and their young children on their dangerous journey across the Atlantic and further into the wild North America. The challenges are enormous, and some must be sacrificed in order for others to survive. 800,000 Norwegians emigrated to America. This is also their story. (Festival Information, Haugesund 2022)
