Sofia Helin is one of the faces of European drama with The Bridge. She recently decided to become a producer as well, in order to give the means to strong projects, offering a new place to female characters, to emerge. The recent series Heder, which she co-created and co-produced with three other actresses, is an emblematic first example: it features four determined female lawyers who embark on a relentless fight against sex crimes and relentlessly denounce patriarchy. This year, she will appear in the historic Norwegian series Atlantic Crossing and in the second season of the Australian series Mystery Road.
Highly involved in the Swedish MeToo movement (#tystnadtagning), in an interview hosted by Caroline Palmstierna (consultant, Shoot For the Moon), she talks about the weapon that fiction represents in the necessary evolution of representations and mentalities.
