The Emigrants
a new land... a new hope... a new dream
Directed by Jan Troell
Produced by SF Studios
An epic yet intimate portrait of Swedish emigrants seeking a better life in America, balancing hardship and hope across a transformative journey.
Karl and Kristina Nilsson work on a farm in a cold and desolate area of 19th century rural Sweden. Growing privations, combined with increasing social and religious persecution, motivate the Nilssons and many of their neighbors to strike out for the United States. Following a treacherous ocean crossing and an equally grueling land passage, the emigrants find themselves in seemingly idyllic Minnesota.
