About
“Pippi Longstocking“ has been translated into 70 languages and sold more than 60 million copies. The film tells the story of her “mother“, famous Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. When young and still unknown, she starts a diary on September 1, 1939. Full of despair about the world, she is in conversation with herself and discovers the healing power of writing. As World War 2 ends with millions dead and massive destruction in Europe, her first book about rebellious Pippi is published. And it revolutionizes the way that books for children shall be written forever. For the first time, Astrid Lindgren´s family appears in a documentary and grants access to her original diaries. The screenings of this film have been made possible through the generous support of the Embassy of Sweden in Tel Aviv
