Synopsis

From the highly acclaimed director AJ
Annila comes PEACEMAKER, a thrilling
political drama series, which tells a
story that is a terrifyingly close to the
world of today. AJ Annila is behind the
series Heroes of the Baltic Sea (2016)
and the feature films Sauna (2008) and
The Eternal Road (2017).
Peacemaker is a series about the world
of peace negotiations, the arms trade,

and the deep-layered relationships of
the people in power. Ann-Mari Sundell
is a Finnish peace negotiator with a
long career in mediating peace in many
countries in war. By contrast, she has
witnessed how political talk often leads to
no action and she decides to speak out.
In a UN Arms trade assembly she reveals
that a Finnish state-owned company is
involved in illegal arms trade with Saudi
Arabia. This causes a scandal.
