Frida, en trotjänarinna is a 1999 documentary film which originally aired over SVT on 3 May 1999.[1] It aired in Denmark on 10 March 2000.[2]
The initiative was taken following a newspaper announce for the annual general meeting of Sällskapet till belöning för trotjänare in 1988, which led to the idea of a programme about a job that had died out more and more. Filmed in 1988, 1993 and 1998 it depicted 76 years old Frida who still, despite her age, was working as a domestic worker in Stockholm (in 1998 she had finally left, and died in 2002, 90 years old).
The first part aired as part of the programme .
It won an Ikaros Award and the Prix Egalia. It also competed at FIPA in France and BANFF in Canada.[3]
