REinvent International Sales has secured global rights to “Vigdís,” the next big Icelandic TV show from the talent-driven shingle Vesturport and local public broadcaster RÚV, after the 2021 Series …
, the four-part series, co-penned by Björg Magnúsdóttir and Ágústa M. Ólafsdóttir, chronicles the inspiring true story of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, Iceland’s former president and the world’s first woman democratically elected head of state.
Vesturport is now fully producing, with Rakel Gardarsdóttir serving as producer together with Ólafsdóttir. “I was only 6 years-old when Vigdís got elected and I was 22 when she stepped down, so you can say that all of my youth, I had this strong female role model in front of me,” noted Filippusdóttir, credited for “The Valhalla Murders” and recently named best actress at the local Edda awards for “Blackport.”
She went on: “It is a good reminder that all of us have to fight our own battles and desires and often the solutions are just around the corner. You just have to follow your heart. Even if you want to change the law, the system, the world or yourself. This story made me believe that the individual has a voice and the power. We just have to be reminded of it, and that is what the story of Vigdís truly does.
