The story has been dramatized for Viaplay, based on the nonfiction book <em>BULLSHIT: The Story of a Family<\/em>\u00a0by Camilla Stockmann and Janus K\u00f8ster-Rasmussen.<\/p>\n<p>Marco Ils\u00f8 (<em>Vikings<\/em>) stars as 18-year-old Henning, aka Mackerel, who turns his back on acceptable society and finds brotherhood and belonging in the biker gang Bullshit. When 16-year-old Pia, played by Alba August (<em>The Congregation<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Rain<\/em>), leaves her difficult family life behind with just 100 kroner, she meets Henning and subsequently finds a new family with him and the gang. Henning rises the ranks of Bullshit with Pia at his side, eventually becoming its president. When a bloody war with Hells Angels breaks out, however, everything changes forever.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; position: relative; max-width: 690px;\">\r\n \t                <div style=\"padding-top: 56.2504%;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<video data-video-id=\"6368220724112\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-account=\"1120308147\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-player=\"default\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-embed=\"default\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-application-id \r\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"video-js\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tcontrols=\"\"\r\n                    loop autoplay\r\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; left: 0px;\"><\/div><\/video>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/1120308147\/default_default\/index.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The six-episode Danish-language series is now available in the U.S. on Viaplay with English subtitles.<\/p>\n<p>Ils\u00f8 tells\u00a0<em>TV Drama Weekly\u00a0<\/em>about the research he did to get into character and the themes explored throughout the limited series.
