Israel Palestine on Swedish TV 1958-1989 (2024)

Directed by Göran Olsson

Overview

In the years 1958 – 1989, public service monopolies prevailed in Sweden and SVT’s reporting from Israel and Palestine was unique. Their reporters were constantly on site in the war-torn area, documenting everything from everyday stories to major international crises. This extensive material is the basis for archivist Göran Hugo Olsson’s (Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975, about violence/Concerning Violence) latest film in which images of the rise of the Israeli state are interspersed with Palestine’s freedom struggle.

Length 202 minutes
