K.J. Yossman Ann-Helén Laestadius’ novel “Stolen” is getting a Netflix adaptation. Elle Márjá Eira (“The Sámi Have Rights”) is set to direct the feature based on a screenplay by Peter Birro (“Monica Z”).
Laestadius will exec produce. “Stolen” will be Eira’s feature film debut. The film, about a young indigenous woman’s struggle in the face of xenophobia, climate change and the patriarchy, will go into production in Sápmi next year and is set to premiere in 2024. “I am over the moon!” said Laestadius. “For me as an author it is of course a dream to see my book adapted into a film and reach a whole new audience across the world.
And I’m incredibly happy that Netflix – with their reach – chooses to highlight a Sami story in a big way.” Jully Black, Deborah Cox, Keysha Freshh, Izzy-S, Kardinal Offishall, SATE, Savannah Ré and DJ 4KORNERS are set to perform at The Legacy Awards, the first Canadian award show to celebrate Black talent.
The inaugural Legacy Awards, which will be hosted by Shamier Anderson and Stephan James, will air live on CBC and CBC Gem on Sept.
