Rahti or Cargo, is a Finnish television crime drama series, which was broadcast on Yle TV1 from 3 September 2021.[1] Its eight episodes are based on an idea by Matti Kinnunen, who is also the director and a scriptwriter. Fellow writers are Veikko Aaltonen and Johanna Hartikainen. Filming began in 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Scenes were shot in Finland, Italy and Malta.[2] Rahti was nominated for Nordisk Film & TV Fond Prize for best screenplay of a Nordic drama series.[1]
The main protagonist, Kiki (Evelyn Rasmussen Osazuwa), is an Eritrean refugee, who is fleeing local soldiers.[2][3] On her journey to Finland, where her father Sammy (Alain Azerot) lives, she is separated from her husband Aman (Geoffrey Erista) and daughter Liah (Ariela Francis).[3] In Finland, Riku (Johannes Holopainen) steals Sammy's van without knowing it has a refugee family hidden inside.[4]
