About the Movie

This award-winning film received several accolades and nominations. Roger Ebert praised director Jan Troell as "perhaps the best of the post-Bergman generation of Swedish filmmakers." The movie depicts the struggles of regular people in their homeland and their journey to a new, promising land.

"Troell has a feeling for the historical past, and for the meaning and beauty of ordinary lives... 'The Emigrants' is a very rare film." - Roger Ebert, RogerEbert.com, January 15, 1973

Join us for an entertaining, insightful, and touching movie that allows us to better understand Swedes and Sweden (and other countries) of yesteryear and now.
