Political suspense thriller from the makers of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Occupied is a multi-layered political suspense thriller set in a not so distant future. Following up on their environmental promises, the Norwegian government halts all oil production sending the country and the rest of the world into crisis.
Unable to ignore the calls from the rest of the world to intervene, Russia, at the behest of the EU, stages a ‘silk-glove’ invasion – to secure the oil for the rest of the world.
They have, they say, every intention of retreating once this has been accomplished. But events unfold that threaten to change all of this. The series examines what happens to a nation under occupation. What happens when life seems to continue as normal and when life on the surface seems unchanged.
When everyone gets to keep their lifestyle, all material things and the sense of security – will they rebel? Will they fight? The series explores the themes of loyalty to oneself, one’s family and one’s country.
