If the Panama Papers have become a byword for exposure of corruption and financial fraud around the world, “The Black Swan” (“Den Sorte Swane”) by Denmark’s own truth-seeking and Sundance winner Mads Brügger is poised to have a similar long-lasting effect on the Scandinavian country.
The true crime documentary series, just picked up by Dr Sales for global distribution, will be introduced to world buyers on Feb. 17 at the European Film Market in Berlin. Meanwhile at home, it continues to be the most talked about documentary since its premiere on TV2 Denmark last May. To this day, more than 2.3 million Danes (out of a population of 6 million) have watched it, making it the second most-watched program of all time in Denmark. The four-part documentary has also scored the prestigious national Robert Award for best TV series, beating strong contenders including Thomas Vinterberg’s “Families Like Ours.”
