Hella W

Hella W (2011) is based on the true story of playwright, politician and businesswoman Hella Wuolijoki (1886-1954). In what was still very much a man’s world, Wuolijoki managed to write successful plays and create a thriving business. Wuolijoki was also very active politically, promoting left-wing ideas. She had connections to the Soviet Union, which made the Finnish authorities increasingly suspicious – especially after the beginning of the Finnish Continuation War in 1941. While following the life of this exceptional woman, the film also touches on key moments in Finnish history from the independence to the 1940s.

Here is a link to the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MHFXL59N0k

The film will be shown on UCB campus, in
