1946 Norwegian drama Englandsfarere (English title: We Leave for England or England Explorers), directed by Toralf Sandø.
The film is a classic of Norwegian wartime cinema, depicting the secret and dangerous routes taken by fishing boats to transport refugees and resistance fighters from Nazi-occupied Norway to England during World War II.
Key Facts About the Film
Based on a True Story: The movie is an adaptation of the 1945 debut novel by Sigurd Evensmo. The story is semi-autobiographical, based on Evensmo's own harrowing attempt to flee to England from Ålesund in 1942, which ended in capture by the Gestapo.
Plot: It follows resistance fighters Harald Silju (played by Knut Wigert) and Arild Jørn (played by Jørn Ording). After their boat, the MB Viggo, experiences engine trouble, they are discovered and captured by German soldiers, leading to their imprisonment at the Grini concentration camp.
Cast: The poster lists the main stars: Jørn Ording, Knut Wigert, Lauritz Falk, Ola Isene, and Elisabeth Bang.
Historical Significance: Released just a year after the war ended, it was a massive success in Norway and is considered a highly accurate documentation of the "England traffic" and the sacrifices made by the Norwegian resistance.
