Desc: Åkerblomrörelsen: Directed by Karl Sahlgren. With Runar Backman, Karin Bäcklund, Fride Fagernäs, Alina Hässjebacka. "The Åkerblom Movement" - Attempted murder and perjury are not usually associated with a Christian movement. But Maria Åkerblom's cult would be convicted for both of them. After a severe illness in her youth Maria Åkerblom (1898 - 1981) experienced visions and revelations. She became a so-called sleep preacher who held her sermon in a translucent state, claiming that her words came directly from God.
