What does justice look like for children who commit crimes in a society that’s failed to protect them? And who’s really to blame? The Nordic noir Deliver Me, directed by Anna Zackrisson (Snow Angels), explores how one community copes when an unspeakable tragedy caused by gang violence tears apart the lives of two teen best friends. Starring newcomers Olle Strand and Yasir Hassan, the series is based on a novel by Malin Persson Giolito.

What happens in Deliver Me?

Preteens Dogge (Strand) and Billy (Hassan) are best friends in Sweden — even though they appear to be from different worlds. From the outside, Dogge seems to live a privileged life, but his parents’ addiction has led to neglect. Billy, on the other hand, is financially disadvantaged but lives in a safe and loving home. Though their friendship provides them stability in their chaotic young lives, they’re vulnerable to forces they can’t control — like the gang activity that plagues their town. After being recruited by a ruthless criminal, Mehdi (Njie), Dogge and Billy become drug runners. But when Billy later attempts to cut ties with the gang, he finds himself trapped — and both he and Dogge come face-to-face with violence.
