Don't miss this free, one-time-only screening of MILLENNIUM: THE STORY, the compelling new documentary (never shown in the U.S.!) that takes you behind the scenes of Swedish author Stieg Larsson's literary and movie phenomenon!

The MILLENNIUM trilogy by Swedish author Stieg Larsson is THE literary phenomenon of the last decade, with 15 million books sold worldwide, 25 translations in over 40 countries, and a movie (THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, based on the first novel in the trilogy) that has blasted box-office records all across the world. And now with the release of the movie version of THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE, the second installment in the series, the Millennium saga continues …
This short documentary portrait of Stieg Larsson reveals the story of an outstanding success – a worldwide phenomenon who, at the age of 50, died from a sudden heart attack before his first novel was even published. In the film, Larsson's fascinating real-life story is analyzed by close friends and relatives; by his publisher, his journalist colleagues and by various professionals who have worked on the films, including Swedish producer Soren Staermose and leading actors Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist, who play Lizbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist.
Laurence Lowenthal's compelling documentary covers everything you’ve ever wanted to know about:

* Larsson's family, childhood and professional life.
* His tragic death before The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was published.
* Larsson’s last day.
* The real stories behind Larsson’s political magazine and his anti-neo-Nazi campaigns.
* The role of Stockholm and the landscape of Sweden in Larsson’s life and writing.
* The battle over his inheritance.
* Eva Gabrielsson, Larsson’s girlfriend, and the manuscript for the fourth book she ‘might’ have.
* Gabrielsson’s contract with a Danish filmmaker to do a cinematic production of Larsson’s life, built from her personal archives.

If you're a fan of the MILLENNIUM trilogy, this is definitely a film you won't want to miss!
