Scandinavian Film Night: "Becoming Astrid"

"Becoming Astrid" tells the story of Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren, the author of many children's books and creator of Pippi Longstocking.

The 2018 film runs just over 2 hours.

Filmmakers' synopsis: "When Astrid Lindgren was still quite young, an event occurred which affected her on a fundamental level, granting her an in-depth insight into children's souls. This very incident convinced her to break with the norms, the religious and societal expectations of the day, and transformed her into a storyteller, one of the most innovative women of our time."
