To coincide with the screening at Zita, there will be a discussion with the editorial team and one of the individuals who was personally subjected to threats and harassment and features in the film. Despite his brother being killed in 2018, he came forward and testified about what happened to him as a child in Sudan.
The case against Ian Lundin, Alexandre Schneiter and the company is Sweden’s longest trial to date. The two former executives of Lundin Oil – which later changed its name to Lundin Petroleum – stand accused of aiding and abetting serious violations of international law in Sudan at the turn of the millennium. The defendants deny the charges.
The Lundin company’s executives are accused of contributing to the displacement and killing of people. More than 30 plaintiffs and some 60 witnesses were called to testify about the civil war in Sudan, which forced 160,000 people to flee and resulted in 12,000 deaths whilst Lundin was leading exploration in the area.
The prosecutor has sought a 10-year prison sentence for Ian Lundin and a 6-year prison sentence for Alexandre Schneiter. The defence maintains that the charges are baseless and is seeking an acquittal. Sweden’s longest trial concludes on 28 May 2026. A date for the verdict will also be announced then.
Alongside the trial for aiding and abetting war crimes, a criminal investigation into abuse of process is also underway. Kalla Fakta’s investigation has led to greater awareness and highlighted the risks faced by witnesses and victims in the case. However, despite the investigation, threats against individuals linked to the inquiry into violations of international law continue.
Global Idé has the privilege to screen the documentary, which has won the Kristallen, the Guldspaden and the IRE Tom Renner Award, at Zita. Global Idé has been working on the Unpaid Debt project since 2016 and has received support from Sida since 2025. The work is carried out in collaboration with partners in South Sudan and aims to strengthen their struggle for justice and redress.
