Wow, seriously? What a biased documentary. When they claimed they were talking about the rise of the 'right wing', I'd have imagined they would be speaking to Alternativ för Sverige (edit: or why not Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen?), but instead they're trying to demonize a fairly mainstream party like SD and indeed openly accuse one of them of being racists in the video. And lol, yeah, like the American guy would get a good picture of how safe a neighbourhood like Husby or Rinkeby is while only driving through it briefly in a car. Someone should drive him to Rosengård in Malmö and leave him there for a few hours so he can get a real understanding.

And then finally, there's the fact that they only showcase immigrants that are attending language classes and are making a significant effort by themselves to get a job and an education - of course there are some immigrants willing to integrate with the native culture and nobody's claiming the opposite, but it's disgustingly disingenuous to not show both sides, especially when the side they're not showing is rather significant. At least the bias is so glaringly obvious that anyone able to think for themselves won't be caught out by it.

Thanks for posting the documentary anyway.

It's hard to find an unbiased documentary. Know any?

Unfortunately, I don't. There was a documentary series aired in the UK a while ago called 'Scandimania' that briefly explored the political landscape of Sweden in one of its episodes and showcased both aspects fairly, but that series as a whole was more of a general social commentary on Scandinavian countries as opposed to an in-depth political insight into them (the guy who presented it was a TV chef, to give you an example of the lack of real political depth it held). You're right that it's very hard to find a completely unbiased documentary these days, and I think that most major media outlets in the world these days will have their own agendas, for good or for ill, and besides only viewing alternative media sources, the best thing we can do is just learn to filter out the bias when we see it, IMO anyway.
