Behind The Swedish Model – a unique behind the scenes documentary from deep within the Swedish Government, following the decision-makers behind their controversial fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. While most countries endured harsh lockdowns during March 2020, Swedes went on with their lives largely as before, indulging in nightlife, visiting elderly relatives, and so on.

“Judge me in a year”, said Swedish public health boss, Dr. Anders Tegnell, in July 2020, whose actions and lack of actions are closely observed by the global media.
