Sökarna (literally "The Searchers") is a 1993 Swedish crime film directed by Daniel Fridell and Peter Cartriers. Liam Norberg stars as Jocke, a young criminal who after serving jail time becomes a successful bank robber and drug dealer. The story is set in an alternative, visually stylized Stockholm in the early 1990s. A sequel, Sökarna: Återkomsten was produced in 2006.
A month before the premiere, Norberg was arrested for a robbery he had committed in 1990, and sentenced to five years in jail. Later it was also revealed that Norberg had used money from his robberies to help finance the production. The film is considered a major cult classic in Sweden.
The Swedish hip-hop group Infinite Mass gained public attention after their appearance in the movie with their controversial song "Area Turns Red", also known as "Shoot the Racist".
