The Serbian Dane (2001)

This three-part, 50-minute miniseries adapts Leif Davidsen's bestselling novel. When controversial Anglo-Iranian writer Sara Santanda becomes the target of a $4 million bounty from religious extremists, she breaks her self-imposed exile and travels to Copenhagen. Her arrival causes a major security response for the Danish government. Simultaneously, in the former Yugoslavia, a young man named Vuk – a Serbian sniper who acts on principle rather than payment – takes on the assignment to assassinate Santanda during her visit.
