The Emigrants

Utvandrarna

Also known as Die Auswanderer, 우트반드라나, 에미그런츠, 이민자들, Os Emigrantes

“a new land... a new hope... a new dream”

Karl and Kristina Nilsson work on a farm in a cold and desolate area of 19th century rural Sweden. Growing privations, combined with increasing social and religious persecution, motivate the Nilssons and many of their neighbors to strike out for the United States. Following a treacherous ocean crossing and an equally grueling land passage, the emigrants find themselves in seemingly idyllic Minnesota.
