Netflix has announced the premiere date for Stolen, its dramatisation of the award-winning YA novel by Ann-Helén Laestadius. The film, which comes to the the best streaming service in April 2024, comes with promo images of wintry tropes such as snowmobiles and cute reindeer, but there's nothing cute about this wintry chiller. It may be coming out in the coming months, but this is a drama to make the temperature drop.
Based on the book of the same name, Stolen is about a young woman's struggle to defend her heritage in an increasingly xenophobic world – a world that's changing fast, where climate change threatens the very livelihoods and sadness threatens the very lives of her community. While a series of apparent hate crimes are at the core, the story touches on much bigger themes including inequality, loss and revenge –and with Laestadius on board as an executive producer it promises to stay true to the spirit of the novel.
