Harry och Eyvind – Nobelpriset som förstörde allt

Dokumentär om en av de största kontroverserna i svenskt kulturliv: hur ett Nobelpris blir en personlig tragedi för två av Sveriges mest inflytelserika... författare. År 1974 tilldelas Harry Martinson och Eyvind Johnson Nobelpriset i litteratur. Två självlärda arbetarförfattare som har gått från samhällets botten till ledamöter i Svenska Akademien. Men priset väcker ilska, och anklagelser om korruption riktas mot Svenska Akademien för att ha belönat sina egna. En mediestorm bryter ut och tonläget är hårt. Mest drabbade blir Harry och Eyvind själva, som kritiseras och ifrågasätts. Deras sista år i livet tyngs av besvikelse, förtvivlan och sjukdom. Svensk dokumentärfilm från 2024 av Anders Lundgren och Hannah Cederberg.
