The Truth Will Out

2018

The Truth Will Out (2018) is a Swedish thriller series starring singer, comedian & actor Robert Gustafsson in the lead role of police detective Peter Wendel & based on ideas by Swedish criminologist & novelist Malin Persson Giolito.

In Series 1, Peter Wendel heads up a cold case unit & is assigned various misfits to work with him. The team determine that a convicted serial killer lied when he confessed to 8 murders. The findings stir up trouble for the Minister of Justice & the police team which originally carried out the investigation.

In Series 2, Emelie (Inez Dahl Torhaug) is a 14-year-old in the care of the state & currently in a treatment centre because of self-harm. Bullied for money by other girls in the centre, she takes up sex work. A senior police officer is caught by Peter Wendel & his team paying Emelie for underage sex.

Trauma warning: This archive contains material relating to care experience including references to abuse, neglect, sexual violence, and institutional harm.

 

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
