This is true journalism that speaks for itself. The biggest threat for Democracy is trying to shut done voices you don't like instead of coming up with the better argument. This is the biggest mistake Sweden ever did in modern time. Love my country, hope we can stay real.

Burning cars and a welfare-system in danger while president Trump tells the audience: "Look at what happened last night in Sweden..."
During 2015 Sweden opened their hearts and welcomed around 160.000 refugees - soon they would go from Europes most open-hearted country to take a more restrictive policy and closing all borders. For years there has been a tough climate to adress problems associated with immigration and some left-winged journalist and politicians even accused those who were critical of being rasists. At the same time Swedens political map was redrawn and saw the rise of the Sweden Democrats - an immigrant-skeptic populistic party who today might have as much as 20-25% of swedish votes. How could this go so far? Why did it happen?
This documentary gathers famous journalists, writers and people active on social media from right to left with ordinary people on the streets to answer some questions, but maybe its higher purpose is not to only give us answers, but show us that there is a possibility to have a debate on a more mature level - something that truely has been lacking in media and on the political stage in Sweden.
10/10

This movie blew me away, not only was it visually pleasing, but its wide range of interviews painted a comprehensive picture of society. The movie also included pauses in the narrative to allow for reflection on what the viewer was just presented. And oh boy what realities this movie reveals. We usually hear both sides of the argument, and at times you feel your pupils dilate in awe in what you are just seeing and hearing.
As a foreigner living in Sweden, I am glad that the makers of this movie are taking the opportunity to lead swedes to serious self-reflection as a nation. What is Sweden today, and what will it likely become in the future?
