Synopsis
A Life’s Worth is a six-part drama inspired by the first Swedish UN battalion in Bosnia in 1993. Four young soldiers face their first mission in a brutal conflict where peacekeeping alone isn’t enough. Their commander, Andreasson, struggles between intervention and duty. A gripping story of war, morality, and the bonds of friendship, love, and trust.
Inspired by UN soldier Magnus Ernström’s book “Ett halvt år, ett helt liv” / ”Half a year, a whole life”
Our take
A deep dive into the Bosnian War, that tore the country apart at the dawn of the 1990s, A Life’s Worth explores with intensity the unimaginable dilemma faced by the peacekeepers sent to the region, unable to intervene in a conflict that was beyond their control. A gripping series and a much-needed look back at one of the most violent wars in recent European history, prompting an essential discussion about the weight of commitment, interventionism, and the cost of peace.
