A World Gone Mad - The War Diaries of Astrid Lindgren plot

This documentary takes us into the world of the war diaries Lindgren kept between 1939 and 1945, which lay undiscovered in her bedroom until 2015. These diaries offer a compelling insight into the horrors of World War II from the perspective of a mother and early feminist who championed peace, humanity, and equality. At the end of World War II, with millions dead and Europe devastated, her first book about the rebellious Pippi is published.
