From the brief:
As war rages in Vietnam, a group of American deserters holed up in Japan plot their escape with help from local peace activists. Their destination: Sweden.

Based on a remarkable series of true events, Sweden takes readers on an exhilarating journey from the killing fields of Vietnam to a fogbound fishing port on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido, with stops at a volcanic island in Japan's subtropical south and a student-occupied university campus in Tokyo along the way.

Sweden is your destination to discover a part of American history you never knew.
