Rid i natt!

In the midst of occupied Europe, a powerful symbol of resistance was born in southern Sweden's rural landscape: "Rid i natt!" (1942), a gripping historical drama directed by Gustaf Molander. Based on Vilhelm Moberg's 1941 novel, this film recounts the 17th-century peasant uprising against German landowners, sparking a fiery revolt that echoes the turmoil of World War II. With its unyielding spirit and stark historical context, "Rid i natt!" serves as a potent reminder of Sweden's complicated relationship with Nazi Germany during the Second World War.
