Snapphanar is a Swedish miniseries directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein that aired in three parts on Sveriges Television during Christmas 2006.[1] It is a historical drama about the Snapphane peasant rebel movement that fought against the Swedish rule of Scania in the 17th century.[2] The "Snapphanar" fought secretly for Denmark during the late 17th century. The main character, Nils Geting, was played by André Sjöberg.[3]

The miniseries was criticised by historians due to a perceived lack of historical accuracy.[4] The Scanian nationalist attitudes portrayed in the series did not exist in the 17th century and the term snapphane - used for self-identification in the series - was in fact a derogatory term used by Swedes.
