The Swedish Connection

Set in 1942, this gripping historical dramedy tells the true story of Gösta Engzell, an unassuming mid-level bureaucrat in the Swedish Foreign Ministry. While Sweden maintains a precarious official neutrality during World War II, Engzell discovers a bureaucratic loophole that allows him to issue Swedish passports to Jewish refugees across Europe. Operating from a cramped basement office and facing resistance from his own government, Engzell and a small team of dedicated colleagues use the power of legal paperwork and diplomatic maneuvering to outwit Nazi authorities and save tens of thousands of lives.
