Experts and psychologists help to investigate how compulsive fandom can become criminal.<\/p>\n<p>The 85-minute documentary is produced by Kreativ Inc., A Rabbit Hole and Bunim Murray Productions, a division of Banijay Americas. Maria Thulin directs, while Joel Karsberg (<em>Surviving R. Kelly<\/em>, <em>The Prize of Silence<\/em>) and John Mork (<em>R\u00f6relsen<\/em>, <em>Balkongfallet<\/em>) serve as executive producers. Banijay Rights is handling international distribution outside Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough unprecedented access, the film provides new layers to an important and almost unbelievable story,\u201d said Andreas Hjerto, head of content for the Nordics at Prime Video. \u201cWe are amazed by the professionals in front of and behind the camera, who have done an unprecedented and comprehensive job of making it come to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObsessive fandom and stalkers can feel far removed from our daily lives, but they are a reality for some,\u201d Thulin said. \u201cAccording to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, hundreds of thousands of Swedish women have been harassed or persecuted by stalkers, and we believe it is important to shed light on this. The documentary gives the audience inside access into a hair-raising story about stalking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur local content slate is growing, and with <em>Take a Chance<\/em>, we add a genre-bending documentary that spans crime, music, mystery and fandom,\u201d added Martin Backlund, managing director for the Nordics at Prime Video. \u201cWe aim to offer our Nordic customers relevant content, with local storytelling and filmmaking behind it, and we believe this local story will be of interest to many.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Video is set to debut its first Nordic documentary, Take a Chance, about ABBA stalker Gert van der Graaf, on May 19 in Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":19586,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[7397,7398,7399,7400,1884,7401,7402,2359,7403,7404,6069,7405],"class_list":["post-19585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-a-rabbit-hole","tag-abba","tag-agnetha-faltskog","tag-andreas-hjerto","tag-banijay-rights","tag-bunim-murray-productions","tag-gert-van-der-graaf","tag-kreativ-inc","tag-maria-thulin","tag-martin-backlund","tag-prime-video","tag-take-a-chance","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
