Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Knutby murders shocked Sweden in 2004, exposing how Pentecostal authoritarianism could mask as devout community. The real Helge Fossmo is still serving life.
Director Karin Swärd secured interviews with former church members still processing trauma, making this perhaps the only Swedish true crime drama where victims watch themselves depicted.
