War Series ‘A Life’s Worth,’ About Swedish Soldiers in Bosnia Looks for ‘Decency in the Chaos,’ Sells to Spain, Greece: ‘It’s a Forgotten Conflict’ (Exclusive)
Viaplay Content Distribution has sold “A Life’s Worth” to Spain (Eitb) and Greece (Vodafone) ahead of its Series Mania premiere in its International Panorama.
The six-episode drama, directed by Ahmed Abdullahi, is inspired by the challenges faced by the first Swedish U.N. battalion, sent to Bosnia in 1993.
Produced by Yellowbird in co-production with Viaplay and Arte France, “A Life’s Worth” has also licensed to Arte for France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria; Viaplay holds other world rights.
“Swedish soldiers didn’t have to go there: they volunteered. Some needed a job, others hoped for an adventure. So many of them didn’t even know what that war was about. They got more than they asked for,” said Mona Masri, who co-wrote the show with Oliver Dixon.
“The Un is a peacekeeping force. I read somewhere that many weapons weren’t functioning, because they weren’t supposed to be used.
