FI 1944. PC: Finlandia-Kuva. D: Holger Harrivirta. DP: Björn Soldan. Narrator: Veikko Itkonen. 9'. A vintage 35 mm nitrate print with generally good definition. Viewed at Orion, Helsinki, 25 May 2005. An eloquent documentary on the great Swedish action to take care of Finnish children (70.000 altogether) during WWII. We follow a train journey of Karelian children via Haparanda to Stockholm, and a ship journey on the Ariadne from Vasa to Umeå. Highly moving. Personally touching for me, as my mother was one of "war children" for whom the experience was a happy one.
