Becoming Astrid (2018)

Sweden/Denmark, Swedish/Danish

Come to Sweden and Denmark to be captivated by the author of the classic children’s books, “Pippi Longstocking”. You don’t have to have read them to enjoy the story of Astrid Lindgren and the engrossing, beautifully acted new film depicting the dramatic early years of her life. A born storyteller, Astrid gets an internship at the local newspaper, run by the unhappily married and substantially older man. This coming-of-age tale showcases the turbulent times of a young girl whose written creativity would ultimately shape the imagination and inspire children worldwide.
