Inspired by real-life occurrences, the opening film for Göteborg titled “Safe House” portrays a band of individuals battling to stay alive within a hospital caught in turmoil during Bangui’s conflict in 2013. Though this film may be distressing to watch, lead actress Kristine Kujath Thorp discovered optimism in the narrative.
What particularly resonated with me was the realization that despite the world’s intricate complexities, the majority of people yearn for kindness, love, and tranquility. It’s just a handful of influential individuals causing trouble. If more of us were to act instead of remaining indifferent and standing united, imagine what we could achieve,” she shared with EbMaster.
Under the guidance of director Eirik Svensson, the cast of “Safe House” includes Alexander Karim, Bibi Tanga, Alma Pöysti, Tracy Goto, and Mattis Herman Nyquist. This film is produced by Fantefilm and distributed by Trust Nordisk, who have exclusively released the trailer on EbMaster.
As a passionate movie enthusiast, I draw inspiration from Kristine Kujath Thorp’s unyielding character, much like Lindis Hurum, a brave soul who found herself in the heart of the Central African Republic during an unexpected wave of violence that swept through its capital. Lindis, who penned a book about her harrowing experience, now holds the esteemed position of General Secretary at Doctors Without Borders in Norway.
The actor, recognized for his roles in “Ninjababy” and “Promised Land,” commented, “It’s one of those overlooked conflicts and turmoils that I was unaware of until I came across the script. Honestly, it had never crossed my mind before then.
I’ve been communicating with Lindis, seeking insights into what it was like to be a humanitarian worker amidst such challenging circumstances. This is a chapter of history that demands and warrants sharing. Its significance remains strikingly pertinent even today, and sadly, it will persist as an issue until the end of time. Regrettably, humans continue to harbor animosity towards other humans, they remain fearful of them, and are often blinded by their prejudice.
Svensson was also touched by Hurum’s experiences.
Upon returning home, I shared the extraordinary event with my closest confidants. Remarkably, one of them is employed by the company that ultimately brought the movie to life. It didn’t take me a moment to make up my mind – I was eager to be part of it. Living in this tumultuous world, we often find ourselves amidst conflicts and calamities, with civilians frequently caught in the crossfire.
When a Muslim man seeks shelter in the hospital, escaping hostile Christian adversaries, the situation becomes even more critical. However, Svensson aimed to demonstrate individuals who, amidst all the challenges, continue to strive for positive change.
As a movie enthusiast, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed by the deluge of information we’re confronted with these days. It’s tough to discern when to shield ourselves and when to embrace it all. This overload can lead to apathy, which in turn leads to inaction. However, witnessing the lengths people are willing to go to help others has reignited my hope that we can navigate this situation together.
His fast-paced, thriller-like film is still a “humane” story.
The events unfold in less than 24 hours, and we aimed to immerse the audience by making them feel as if they’re part of the action. When I discussed it with Lindis, she concurred that creating a sense of suspense was crucial. There’s a particular scene involving an emergency C-section, followed immediately by the arrival of a wounded soldier. This creates a massive dilemma for them,” he noted.
As a film enthusiast immersed in the world of medicine for my latest project, I’ve been engaging with surgeons who’ve experienced similar scenarios. My aim is to grasp not only their technical skills, such as scalpel handling, but also their unique language and jargon. This research is more than just gathering facts; it’s about choreographing a story that resonates with authenticity. Capturing the raw emotions and intimate moments was no small feat, given the high-stakes tension that sets in from the very start.
Although the Nordic region may appear as a “fairly secure environment,” it’s crucial to reflect on “our responsibilities and the opportunities we hold to assist those less fortunate than ourselves,” emphasized Svensson, mindful of avoiding the “white savior” stereotype.
It’s beneficial to consider these aspects: How can we narrate these tales effectively, and from which perspectives? The story originated from a real individual with Nordic roots, so it heavily focuses on her experiences. However, I made an effort to emphasize that nine out of ten aid workers were locals themselves. This tale is more like a team effort: They all rely on each other for support, helping them make it through each day.
It’s “frustrating” that so many of these tales are never told, he added.
These events unfolded in a relatively unknown nation. They often felt isolated and faced considerable risks, yet never entertained thoughts of futility. Instead, they were continually reminded of their purpose by witnessing the children they assisted, women giving birth, and the daily impact of their efforts.
