Introduction
This monumental documentary filters over 30 years of public service broadcasting archive, creating a portrait of how the Middle East conflict was reported in Sweden. Göran Hugo Olsson’s epic panorama of violence, disaster and political oration is woven together with reflective sequences that provide an evolving perspective that’s all too timely for the West today.

The Invasion
Sergei Loznitsa’s multiple-perspective portrait of Ukraine under Russian attack is all the more powerful for its focus on everyday life.
