On August 23, 1973 a bank robbery at the Kreditbank in Stockholm went badly wrong. It turned into a hostage situation which lasted six days, and gave its name to a phenomenon.
Stockholm Syndrome is a way of describing the emotional bonds which some people can form with a captor or abuser. And it all started in that bank in Stockholm.
During the siege, despite being held against their will in a dangerous situation, the four hostages bonded with the bank robbers and turned against the police. They continued to defend their captors after their release and refused to testify against them. In fact, they even raised money for the bank robbers’ defence. This survival mechanism came to be known as “Stockholm Syndrome.”
In this film, nearly fifty years after the events, we hear directly from the hostages, bank robbers and police and find out what happened during those six eventful days.
Director: Olivier Pighetti

If the prime minister says to a hostage, "Well, you'd be prepared to die for your country, wouldn't you?" and, in stark contrast, the robbers have concern and care for your life and wellbeing, who are you going to trust?

This was an incredible story. I hope Kirstin has come to understand she has nothing to apologize for, or to feel bad about. It was all about survival, and even after everything she still saw him as the one that protected her during the most terrifying time of her life. I had heard of the Stockholm Syndrome during the trial of Patty Hurst, and I knew then that it came from something else... but this is the first time I'd actually heard the story that was behind it. This was so well done, very candid, and I especially appreciated that the producer of this documentary let THEM tell their story. Thank you so much for uploading this!

This was fascinating! Kirstin says no one would understand her feelings for Clark because they weren't in that bank with they. From the sound of it, he helped her stay sane in a terrifying situation that he hadn't instigated, but was able to take control of with his experience. Especially when Jan is going off saying he's gonna kill the hostages if 'x,y,z' happens, and Clark is going, "Nevermind that idiot. Just sit here and you'll be fine." I've gotta say, it makes perfect sense to me.

“… or I saved him”. She was right though, understanding prime minister Palme was willing victims to die, confirming the monopoly of violence was ready to save none. It is truly astonishing a psychiatrist given task of negotiation was let loose crawling around speaking openly to anyone having an ear. This story makes sense, only if understood how a political leadership and its monopoly of violence is felt more dangerous then the threat they should seek to prevent. So, “Stockholm syndrome” may occur when authorities is felt more threatening.

Kirstin was dropped into a situation she had no control over, she was fought over by two aggressive sides. She did what she had to do to survive, and now she is blamed for siding with the only man in the situation who comforted her and protected her through it. She deserves a sincere heartfelt apology from the police and authorities.. but she probably won't get it.
@philbert006

How in the hell could she get a "heartfelt apology"? Certainly the authorities and PM did not care an iota for anyone's life or anything other than the future of their career. She should have been presented with the original documents detailing the failure of the authorities and their forced retirement and lifelong ban from working in the public sector, including everyone that had a decision making role, and the banning from medical practice of the idiot psychologist or whatever he was advising them and the assholes that tortured her afterwards. This is a wake up call for people. The syndrome aspect is unimportant, when you understand the value of yours and every other average person's life in the mind of a politician, that value being so little that to them it doesn't even warrant them wasting a thought for it.

I want to leave a comment for the none Swedish comment section lurkers. Sweden especially back then was very community minded where you don't just work on every man for themselves but for everyone which is why the promise to return weighed so heavily. You have a lot of collab and teamwork in schools so you are from a young age in it together so when you are in it together you get out of it together. As messed up as this might sound the robbers are human too with the same childhood experiences and they too have parents that want them home safe so wishing no bloodspill on the already traumatic day makes sense to me. The robbers can face justice in jail without dying, the event is stressful and traumatic enough already and wishing people to die in front of me would just bring sorrow upon their family, solving it peacefully was the right battle to take imo. Kicki was very brave through it all.

This was a very well written & directed documentary. Kirstin - flight, fight, freeze…. You FOUGHT for your own survival. You were gaslit by both sides. Even the Prime Minister expected you to give up your life willingly!! You hadn’t entered the military, or the police. This wasn’t war. You worked as a BANK CASHIER!!

The first 2 minutes already disgust me. The victim is still traumatised, even 50 years later shes shaking, she says. One of the bank robber describes it as "a party starting", how he wanted the police to think hes super dangerous, how he shot up into the ceiling. Sick person. I wish him all the worst.

WOW!! That's the first time I've heard about this and it's definitely a crazy story!! Like most people, I always heard about Stockholm syndrome growing up (I'm 52) but it was always associated with Patty Hearst. I never knew this ever happened. I just assumed that's the name they gave it when the Patty Hearst case happened and I never looked into it, obviously lol🤦. It's absolutely unbelievable that "Kiki" (I think that's what Clark was calling her) ended up in a relationship with him! Talk about falling for a 'bad boy' 😂. Just a side note: could you imagine how this could've turned out if they didn't bring Clark in to help negotiate AKA take over?!?! This story is just beyond crazy 😲😮

The syndrome, today, the criteria for it, it’s just not what had occurred on that day. That day…was a revealing day where, just like today and eons before that day, the systems of power over were seen for the heartless, careless systems they are. These systems can never be anything else. That’s not their design, by design. You know who did and still to this day does fit the criteria FAR more if not exact…are those that work for, within those systems, below those that control them. They align with their captor…these real criminals & liars & manipulators that have captured all of us, their minions being some of us. They decide that these captors are the good guy when they commit crimes against all of us, all of them, their families and communities everyday. That’s who fits the description of the syndrome…not ppl who come to a rational understanding that those that are there to protect them, are not going to protect them. They’re going to endanger them. And the bank robbers were literally safer, more caring, more attentive, listening and affected by their words and emotions, than those in uniform, conditioned and controlled by the real enemy.

That's what I've been recently concluding. It seems the world is experiencing a form of "Mass Stockholm Syndrome," being overwhelmed by current events. The financial assaults and power grabs and feeling powerless to change it, many are embracing the enemy's goals at their own peril.

This a strange story. It's almost like some troubled people walked into a bank. Two of them assumed the role of the robbers, the others that of the victims. Bizarre, but having an affair with one of the robbers after the heist was over, this was certainly way beyond the bizarre.

This certainly gave some insight into the nitty gritty of the situation, and how the hostages made sure that they would survive by ensuring they were showing their humanity and how difficult it would be too unalive them if it got nasty, this situation would never arise in a situation with certain religiously motivated terrorists who are all about the fear and carnage and who would never act the way these two offenders did. I think there was also a bit of "reverse" syndrome here, the offenders were also empathetic to the hostages as well as the vice versa. I dare to say it, but these were civilised offenders in a civilised country, had it been other places it would have turned out differently.
