Sara Lidman's return to Missenträsk.
The year is 1975. In the last days of July, Sara decides to move back to the farm. In recent years, she had traveled around the country giving speeches. Agitating and debating. Against the US war in Vietnam. For the freedom and right of the Vietnamese people to choose their own future. Her plan was to finish her mission with a book about Vietnam. But her grandfather's story caught up with her. She abandoned Vietnam. Instead, she started writing The Book of Västerbotten. The book that became the seven novels and 2000 pages of the Railway Epic.
Ellenor Lindgren, Anders Karlsson and Harald Larsen tell and read about the time before the return and shortly after.
The program is a pre-program to the performance Järnkronan at 19.00 the same day by and with Jacob Hultcrantz Hansson.
