Stolen (2024) movie 🇸🇪

A young woman from Sweden's indigenous Sámi community tracks down a killer to settle a personal score.

Stolen (Swedish: Stöld) is a Swedish drama film directed by Elle Márjá Eira [no], in her feature directorial debut, based on the 2021 novel of the same name by Ann-Helén Laestadius. It was released on Netflix on 12 April 2024.

Director Elle Márjá Eira is Sámi herself and grew up in Kautokeino.[1] [2] Actress Elin Kristina Oskal is also Sámi, having grown up in Saltdal, Nordland. During her school years, Oskal was the only Sámi student in her class.[3] Eira stated that it was important to cast Sámi actors, as they would be familiar with reindeer herding as well as the struggles the Sámi community faces.[4]

Filming took place in Sápmi—specifically Vittangi and Övre Soppero in Norrbotten County, Sweden—in early 2023.[5][6][7]
