CINDIE SAYS:
Riding in Darkness (Nattryttarna, 2022) is a gripping Swedish true-crime miniseries based on horrifying real events spanning over two decades at a Swedish equestrian center. Directed by Molly Hartleb and Julia Lindström and written by Ulf Kvensler, it explores abuse, survival, and the pursuit of justice. The story is inspired by Sophie Jahn’s life, who bravely exposed her father’s crimes after years of silence.
