- Summary:
- Television broadcasting debuted in Sweden in 1957. And Swedish public broadcaster SVT began covering Israel and Palestine almost from day one. Filmmaker Goran Hugo Olsson (The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975) masterfully weaves together some of this footage, telling the story of the rise of the Israeli state and the Palestinian struggle for self-determination as seen by Swedish media. For the first decade, SVT coverage is mostly positive. There is a sense of affinity for Israel's collective efforts in agriculture, housing, medicine, and what is then openly called colonization. But over time the Palestinians move from the sidelines to center stage. The result is an illuminating look at a changing media landscape and the framing of one of the most significant and intractable conflicts of our times.
